âThere's barely a doctor at work in the NHS today who doesn't see or experience this distress on a daily basis,â said Prof Philip Banfield, the leader of the British Medical Association.
The NHS is impossibly overstretched, has thousands of vacancies for doctors and has a quarter fewer doctors a head of population than Germany, he added. In practice that means we can almost never give the standard of care we would want, only ever the care we can manage. That takes its toll, as we see here, Banfield said.
