Dr. Niamh Humphries:

It should not be allowed to happen in this profession or any profession, to be honest. Some of the people I interviewed in Australia had been about to quit medicine. They had worked for a couple of years in the Irish health system. They had burnt out and were just about to give up. They went to Australia and realised that they actually love being a doctor. They just do not love the conditions that come with being a doctor. We need to improve their conditions so that they stay in the Irish health system and are encouraged and supported to do so in a sustainable way.
