Moving away to get well paid, scheduled correctly, asked to work reasonable hours and protected from patient abuse. Why that is shocking stuff.
65 to 72 hours wasn’t unusual for me, including 2x 24 hour shifts a week at one point
After my intern year 87% left. About 30% of those that go never return. Theres a lot of Irish names in all sorts of jobs in the New Zealand hospital i work in
when the indo does its next annual report on the dozen junior doctors who clear 6 figures, remember they’re on hourly rates.
Also, this is interesting:
>The study also found that 27.8% of Ireland’s 20,962 clinically active doctors working in the Republic have an international qualification (meaning that they trained outside of Ireland, the EU, and the UK). Most of the internationally trained doctors got their qualifications in Pakistan (39.7%) followed by Sudan (21.3%).”
This means there are about 2,313 Pakistan and 1,241 Sudan trained doctors working in Ireland. Since, there were [15,185 people with Pakistani citizenship](https://www.cso.ie/en/releasesandpublications/ep/p-cpsr/censusofpopulation2022-summaryresults/migrationanddiversity/) in the 2022 census, this suggests about 10-15% of Pakistani adults in Ireland are medical doctors compared to 0.5% of adults in the general population ([40% of medical graduates in Pakistan](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10025733/) leave to work in other countries, which undermines Pakistan’s medical system).
HSE should be totally abolished, entirely new management is required. It’s been broken forever.
If they looked at hospital doctors only, I’d reckon this figure would be closer to 90% working more than 48 hours.
I used to work with a qualified MD. He was a self taught software developer
1 in 4? I thought it was higher, big reason i took medicine off my cao last june
Does the issue also affect consultant positions? Maybe it’s a silly question, but I haven’t had any experience with the Irish healthcare system – I’m just curious.
