Biological and culturel differences between men and women lead to severe discrimination against women doctors who bear the burdens of pregnancy, child-rearing, and housework. These lead, from equality within medical school and at qualification, to increasing failure to obtain posts commensurate with their innate abilities. Women doctors who temporarily and partially drop out of full-time practice have been studied frequently, but men (who are equally expensive to train) have not, despite their disappearing from National Health Service practice through emigration, death, alcoholism, suicide, or removal from the Medical Register. In a working lifetime of forty years, a woman doctor with an average family is likely to do seven-eighths of the work of a doctor who has not had to carry the primary responsibility of bearing and rearing children. Doctors with dependants are handicapped, and a separate career structure might be set up for them. Supernumerary consultant posts are proposed.
男性和女性之间的生理及文化差异导致对女医生的严重歧视，她们承担着怀孕、育儿和家务的重担。这些因素致使从医学院内部及获得资格时的平等，到越来越难以获得与其天赋能力相称的职位。经常有研究关注暂时或部分退出全职医疗工作的女医生，但对于男性医生（培养他们的成本同样高昂）却没有研究，尽管他们通过移民、死亡、酗酒、自杀或被从医生注册名单中除名而从国民医疗服务体系中消失。在四十年的职业生涯中，一个有普通家庭的女医生可能完成的工作量仅为无需承担生育和抚养孩子主要责任的医生的八分之七。有家属的医生受到阻碍，或许可以为他们建立单独的职业架构。建议增设编外顾问职位。
