 Re: I feel stuck in my career in the NHS
One thing I should do now to get out of this situation is to persue post graduate education. The worst that can happen after the degree is go back to the NHS, but at least I would have a shot at a band 8 post.
I've been looking at three sort of programmes: health economics, MBA, and research programmes related to gene therapy which is my interest, too bad it's still in it's infancy.
unfortuantely, in this time and age, the size of you salary can not be avoided, even if you believe that money is the source of all evil. Bottom line, Research doesn't pay, unless you actually invent something that drug companies want, which doesn't happen every day. If you get into management, u get paid, but it's a cut-throat competetion, and I think I've worked too long in hospitals that I can not see myself working in this field. |
