      Working in the NHS

      Junior doctor

      Pros

      Able to make a difference. Patient care. Ability to lead and take responsibility for important decisions. Medicine is endlessly fascinating

      Cons

      Rubbish pay particularly at junior levels. Chronic understaffing means you are often required to do the job of 3 or 4 people, work far beyond your expected hours and patient safety can be compromised by this, which is frustrating and demoralising

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very secure job, get to have your pick of places to work at, career development options are good, meeting a variety of people on a daily basis, feeling like you're making a difference, some staff are very friendly.

      Cons

      Chronically understaffed, underfunded, culture of bullying in the workplace, hard to have a good work-life balance with the hours and shift work, bad pay, having to work past the end of your shift often, too much paperwork, abusive patients and visitors, sometimes not having time to take a toilet break for your whole shift due to being so busy and not enough staff available.
