Wellbeing Hub
BMA defines moral distress as the psychological unease generated where professionals identify an ethically correct action to take but are constrained in their ability to take that action.
We are feeling this increasingly whilst working in Acute Medicine. We know on a basic level that corridor care and leaving patients in the waiting room for hours is not the right care that they need, but we are powerless to change this on an individual level.
