Retraining

[Cysco]

Morning. I have been qualified as a nurse for 25 years now in the NHS, looking to change abit. I am thinking about doing a foot health practitioner course, and an ear suctioning course. Perhaps with a view of leaving work. I'm 52. Has anyone had any thoughts on this ? Thanks in advance !

can you use your work to retrain in something?

Only things that would benefit my current role which is quite specialised

I've had thoughts of doing exactly those businesses, but don't have your great background for it! I would look at how many of those people are operating in your area and take it from there. I think it's surely a good option as those services can't be automated, and we have an ageing population who will continue to need them for many decades to come.

Thankyou for this

Thankyou for this

Hi I know it’s an old thread but I’m curious, did you go and do the training. Ive just enrolled on a FHP course.

Thank you ☺️

@Testing123546 hi yes I have just done an ear suction course hoping to do the foot course next year. Where are you doing it?

Hi also interested in this. How are you getting on with the course and what company did you register with x

Hi I did it with the Ear Academy in London. Quite expensive course and I didn't find it that well organised tbh. Are you doing it?
