What Career Opportunities are Available for Doctors Still Working Full Time?

How do we spot and size opportunities when we are working full time? In this episode, I focus on how you find the best alternative opportunities when you are busy  in your current role. Dr Nooshin Barmania, consultant, respiratory physician and strategy advisor in health care and med tech explains how she created the right opportunity for herself as a CMO of a health tech company through connections she made while working full-time in the NHS. We also look at the value and skillset she brought to her health tech role and the positive impact of a consultant in a health tech organisation. KEY TAKEAWAYS Managing a quality improvement project created connections with external commercial settings and individuals A clinician with overview, exposure and involvement was hugely beneficial There is a clinical language and discourse that everyone has in the NHS and that makes things much easier There are many skills, including soft skills, such as bringing people with you on the journey, that are vital I had a real curiosity for other ways of working and doing things Investing in getting to know yourself will help you to see and seize the opportunities   I was curious about what else I could do using my clinical skills  where I was nourishing and making a difference and improving care Be bold and brave it could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity    BEST MOMENTS ‘I was intrigued by the possibilities’ ‘I needed a different type of challenge for my progression’ ‘With support and backing, I felt empowered to make a bold move’ RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE Dr Nooshin Barmania Linkedin GET NEW EPISODES FIRST & MY UPDATES HERE https://medicfootprints.org/joinourmission TRANSFORM YOUR CAREER WITH ME AND MORE. https://medicfootprints.org/gopremium  REACH OUT TO OUR TEAM!
