Nearly half of NHS workers have spent time looking at job adverts for work outside the service, according to new analysis.
Some 47% have looked at work outside the NHS and 29% have actively inquired about non-NHS work, researchers found.
Between March 2023 and June 2023 some 14% actually applied for non-NHS jobs, according to academics at the University of Bath.
Researchers said stress, workload, staff shortages and pay are the top reasons for staff leaving the NHS.
The study team raised concerns over burnout after almost one in two (47%) NHS workers reported “feeling very tired or drained” most days or every day.
And ratings of job satisfaction have declined over the four-year period that experts have been tracking views of NHS workers.
Staff were surveyed in “waves” starting in 2020.
Around 1,500 staff in England were surveyed by YouGov on behalf of researchers in the most recent poll.
Overall just 37% of staff questioned in spring 2023 said they would recommend working for the NHS to others - a drop from 61% in winter 2020/21.
