National study reveals that UK resident doctors spend four hours on administrative tasks for every hour of direct patient care, highlighting a critical imbalance in clinical training and the urgent need for reforms to reduce paperwork and improve patient contact.
As reported in the Daily Express, the TACT study tracked 137 junior doctors across NHS hospitals, finding that only 18% of their time is spent with patients, while over 70% is devoted to administrative tasks such as documentation and chasing results. The findings call for urgent changes, including better IT systems, more support staff, and a national NHS computer system to reduce paperwork and improve patient care.
This BMJ commentary discusses the impact of excessive administrative workload on UK doctors, arguing that fragmented electronic health records and clerical demands are undermining clinical training, patient safety, and workforce retention. The authors advocate for system-level reforms, including task redistribution, improved IT infrastructure, and the use of AI to automate routine tasks.
Discussion on the factors driving UK junior doctors to seek training abroad, including administrative overload, limited patient contact, and workforce retention challenges. The post explores the implications for the NHS and the need for reforms to retain talent.
Key statistics from the TACT study are shared, emphasizing the 4:1 ratio of administrative to patient time among UK resident doctors and calling for action to bring clinicians back to the bedside.
BMJ shares the urgent need to reduce administrative burdens and improve IT systems in the NHS, so doctors can focus on patient care and training rather than paperwork.
The TACT study, published in QJM, is a national multicentre observational cohort study of 137 UK resident doctors. It found that 73% of their time is spent on non-patient-facing tasks, with only 17.9% on direct patient care. The study highlights significant dissatisfaction among trainees and recommends streamlining administrative duties, integrating digital solutions, and improving mentorship to enhance job satisfaction and healthcare delivery.
A national cross-sectional survey of over 2,200 UK medical students reveals widespread dissatisfaction with the new preference-informed allocation (PIA) system. Key findings indicate that 51.6% view the system as unfair, 76.3% feel a loss of control, and 48.2% are now considering careers outside the NHS, highlighting significant risks to future workforce morale and retention.
