Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Extract
In 2001, Richard Smith, then editor of the BMJ, asked why doctors were so unhappy. He provoked a huge international response. The suggested reasons included: changes in the social structures of work; the demographic shift and difficulties in the recruitment and retention of staff; the replacement of trust with accountability; changes in relationships with people and bodies that are responsible for policy and practice; and negative media reporting.
