TY  - JOUR
AB  - Medical labour markets are important due to their size and the importanceof medical labour in the production of healthcare and subsequent patient outcomes. We present a summary of important trends in the UK medical labourmarket, and review the latest research on factors that determine medical laboursupply and the impact of labour on patient outcomes. The topics examinedinclude the responsiveness of labour supply to changes in wages, regulationand other incentives; factors which determine the wide variation in physicianpractice and style; and the effect of teams and management quality on patientoutcomes. This literature reveals that while labour supply is relatively unresponsive to changes in wages, medical personnel do react strongly to otherincentives even in the short run. This is likely to have consequences for quality of care provided to patients. We set out a series of unanswered questionsin the UK setting, including: the importance of non-financial incentives inrecruiting and retaining medical staff; how individuals can be incentivised towork in particular specialties and regions; and how medical teams can be bestorganised to improve care.
