A junior doctor has said there is an “era of quiet quitting” and other staff reducing their hours in Northern Ireland healthcare.
Dr Tim Neill was speaking as junior doctors voted overwhelmingly to take their first strike action in Northern Ireland in a dispute over pay.
The 24-hour stoppage is due to run from 08:00 BST on 6 March to 08:00 BST on 7 March.
Dr Neill, who works at Daisy Hill Hospital in Newry, said it was “difficult to hear” stories from colleagues about how they wished to leave the profession.

It said it is committed “to further engagement with the BMA Junior Doctors Committee on pay, contract reform and other issues”.
