Doctor,Workload,Support

Piyal Modi, a young doctor, shares her experience of being overwhelmed with a heavy workload and lack of support in her first four months of work.

In her first four months, Piyal Modi was taking on the work of three doctors, and it made her fall out of love with her dream career. In 2021, Piyal Modi was caring for 100 patients on a urology ward with only one other person to help her. The minimum staffing was usually six, but due to colleagues being off with suspected Covid, the responsibilities of all 100 patients bore down on two of the youngest doctors in the hospital.

Modi, now 28, was on a two-year contract with the University Hospital of Leicester, having completed six years training at Bristol School of Medicine, but the long working hours and lack of support took a toll on her mental health. She would arrive early for her shift and start preparing patients’ notes, and visit every person on the ward to manage their treatment
