NHS jobs that are not completely stressful

[whatyousayin]

Can anyone suggest health care roles in the NHS (front line eg. hospital or GP surgery) that are enjoyable and you don't feel completely burnt out all the time?

I want to go into healthcare, considering Physician Associate as I already have a degree, but I also have a young family. So I don't want to train and get into a new role to feel completely burnt out and overwhelmed and regret finding the course myself ...

Any suggestions would be welcomed

There was a thread recently where teachers and doctors had moved to working in the Civil Service. Better hours.

Adult audiology - hopefully by the time you’ve finished training the NHS won’t be in the state it’s in now. And you can get work in the private sector if so.

OT masters?

Completely agree. I've worked as a radiographer for 25 years. Would never ever recommend it now (def would have 15 years ago). Chronic staff shortages, poor morale, terrible management decisions, flexible/family friendly policies not worth the paper they're written on and don't even start with the pay!!!!!!
Stay well away from the NHS, it really really isn't worth it.

SALT have always had high job satisfaction but a lot of them are experiencing burnout too 🙁

I'm an Occupational Therapist in the NHS and there is horrendous pressure on us to sort out discharges ASAP, even worse than pre covid. It is by no means stress free and I am leaving the NHS very soon....

Best advice to give you is to stay very very far away from the NHS...

Speech and language therapy, vascular scientist,

not physio or OT, ODP. Anything where you do sessions that don’t overrun… PA can be frustrating because of lack of career progression.
