We have a medical workforce crisis where we have insufficient trainees, demonstrated by rota gaps, and in turn nearly half of advertised consultant physician posts cannot be appointed to. Most physicians retire around age 62, and already 5% of the total consultant workforce is those who have retired and returned. If those reaching retirement age chose not to retire but continue working less than full time this would, at least in part, benefit the workforce and utilise valuable skills and experience to the benefit of the individual, the wider medical community and therefore our patients.
我们正面临着医疗劳动力危机，轮转空缺就证明了这一点，因此，近一半的顾问医生职位空缺无法填补。大多数医生在 62 岁左右退休，而已经有 5%的顾问医生总数是那些退休后又回来的人。如果那些即将退休的人选择不退休，而是继续兼职工作，这至少在一定程度上有利于劳动力队伍，利用宝贵的技能和经验使个人、更广泛的医疗界以及我们的患者受益。
