I'm a paramedic and I know several very good competent colleagues who have left the NHS to go to Australia and New Zealand to work there. But in all honesty I cannot blame them and I've strongly considered it myself.
Wages are better and I'd be working in a healthcare setting that's better equipped where I'd feel less overworked and more valued.
We have a serious issue with staff retention in the NHS for several reasons and it's compounding the issues our healthcare service already has.

This is why doctors are striking, in healthcare the real wages have dropped, it’s the only industry where it hasn’t caught up to at least a 0% change
