My background
As a careers adviser, I have been working with doctors since 2009, when I became a member of the Kent, Surrey, Sussex Deanery careers team. I was then promoted to lead the careers team for this deanery.
At the same time I led on the national NHS careers information for doctors, developing the Health Careers website and leading the team that liaised with all the Royal Colleges to get the information that’s currently on the website now.
I have experience holding 1:1 career sessions with trainees, SAS and international doctors, as well as GPs and NHS consultants who want to look at alternative careers.
I have also 1:1 coaching experience with medics and other clinicians who would like leadership or life coaching sessions. These are a powerful way to unlock potential and to have some reflective time to sit back and review goals and achievements.
New website
I now have a shiny new website just aimed at doctors! The site is called Doctorscareersandcoaching.com.
I love working with doctors, so please check the site out and let me know if there’s anything I can help you with!
Services I offer
1:1 careers guidance/careers coaching
Trainee doctors in England usually have free careers support from Health Education England, so I am offering my services to:
- doctors who are out of training
- SAS doctors
- international medics
- GPs/Consultants/trainees who would like more of a supportive life-coaching approach, as well as careers guidance.
