AbstractWe have a medical workforce crisis where we have insufficient trainees, demonstrated by rota gaps, and in turn nearly half of advertised consultant physician posts cannot be appointed to. Most physicians retire around age 62, and already 5% of the total consultant workforce is those who have retired and returned. If those reaching retirement age chose not to retire but continue working less than full time this would, at least in part, benefit the workforce and utilise valuable skills and experience to the benefit of the individual, the wider medical community and therefore our patients.© Royal College of Physicians 2018.
