What do you do in the NHS and which other professionals do you work alongside who you have (job) envy for? I'm trying to decide which career I should choose and need inspiration!

Healthcare scientist here. Not sure I envy any other occupation. Maybe the more clinical roles of my profession rather than being desk based

PaddyF0dder · 17/08/2018 20:02

I’m a consultant child psychiatrist. I assess, diagnose and manage mental health problems in children and adolescents. I work as part of a team that includes nurses, psychologists, speech and language therepists, psychotherapists etc.

To do my job you need to be a medical doctor, and then specialise into Psychiatry, and then train to consultant level.

PaddyF0dder · 17/08/2018 20:04

I should add that I don’t really envy other professionals. My job is difficult and stressful. But it’s also rewarding, fascinating and well-paid.

Saymaname · 17/08/2018 20:05

Admin and I’m happy

ClockworkNightingale · 17/08/2018 20:07

Ginmakesitallok · 17/08/2018 20:12

I'm an SLT. I really enjoy it!

RoseyOntheDoor · 17/08/2018 20:21

Med secretary. Don’t envy any of the clinical staff. They seem stressed to the max! I go home at 5 and forget all about my work until the next morning. Happy to take less money for that privilege!

Tortycat · 17/08/2018 20:22

I'm a Clinical Psychologist. Do enjoy it and feel lucky but would have quite liked to be a doctor of something physical

RoseGardenDreams · 17/08/2018 22:33

MsAnn do you work with children or adults?
