One Brisbane doctor has confirmed, in a heartfelt plea to his neighbours, that he will resign at the end of the month over the mounting contracts dispute between the Newman government and senior medical officers.

The doctor from the Princess Alexandra Hospital, who identified himself only as Charlie, wrote a hand-delivered letter to his neighbours on Saturday outlining the plight of senior medical officers, who argue they face arbitrary dismissal and enforced shiftwork under new contracts.

"I am going to resign at the end of the month and so are many of my colleagues," he said.

The doctor, who works in the anaesthetic department, wrote an impassioned plea to his residential neighbours pleading for their support.
