Tired of a job you don’t enjoy?
I know exactly how it feels. Not too long ago, I seriously thought of leaving medicine. It’s demoralising to go to work and putting out fire every day. I couldn’t picture myself working in a system that demanded more from me with fewer resources. The work started to affect my sleep and health.
Are you overworked and underpaid?
A job is primarily designed to meet the needs of an organisation as opposed to your fulfillment. Most GPs settle for a job they don’t enjoy. If you don’t design a career tailored to your needs and aspiration, you let others shape a career they want for you.
After making huge sacrifices, GPs often find themselves stuck working long hours without being valued and recognised. The daily grind of overwhelming workload, chronic stress and inadequate compensation can feel like you’re stuck in a never-ending cycle of dissatisfaction. Perhaps, you feel guilty for not spending enough time with your family.
Be the architect of your career
The good news is you have the power to design a career that fits your needs. Are you ready to take control of your life and create a career that truly inspires and excites you? It’s time to create a career that ignites your passion and fulfills you.
Imagine having the flexibility to work in a variety of fields, all while utilising your skills as a doctor. The possibilities are endless from specialising in Dermatology or Minor Surgery, to exploring the world of medical writing, coaching or even becoming a content creator.
I pursued my passion for Medical Education. Despite not being a natural communicator, I developed my skills and enjoyed passing on my knowledge and insights to help other doctors excel in their abilities to communicate. I started teaching to empower doctors so they can thrive.
The benefits of a Portfolio career
Dr Tom Watchman is a GP, very passionate about learning and teaching medicine. He decided to start a website to help students pass their finals. Initially, the project was a side-hustle while he worked as a doctor. Fast-forward, eight years later Zero to Finals has become his main work. GP is now his side hustle.
Dr Ayan Panja was burned out under the increasing pressure of the NHS. After discovering lifestyle medicine, his life was transformed. He developed an interest in lifestyle medicine and became an educator in the field. He is one of the leading voices in the lifestyle medicine space.
Developing a portfolio career was the best career decision I made. Designing my career has given me the freedom to spend time with family and friends. If you want flexibility and enjoy life with loved ones you can make it happen too.
But, let’s be real, developing a career you love won’t happen on its own. It takes deliberate actions and a willingness to take action. If you’re ready to take the first step, then let’s make it happen together.
