Non-Clinical Careers for Doctors | How I Broke Into Health Tech

Nearly 1 in 3 doctors in the UK plan to leave the NHS. If you’re one of them, you’re likely stuck on the same two questions: "Am I even qualified for anything else?" and "How do I even find another job?" In this video, I’m sharing the 5 tips I used to transition from full-time clinical practice into Health Tech—and how I landed my current role without ever hitting "apply" on a job board. I break down the "3 Doors of Opportunity" to help you understand how the industry actually hires: The Front Door: Publicly advertised roles and the soul-crushing "CV black hole." The Side Door: The power of networking and warm referrals. The Back Door: How I was headhunted via DM by building visibility and becoming a "magnet" for opportunities. I share the strategy that helped optimise my profile and position my clinical expertise so that the industry came to me, rather than the other way around. This video is for any medic, nurse, or healthcare professional curious about portfolio careers, breaking into Health Tech, or simply looking for an "exit strategy" that doesn't involve endless application forms. 🩺➡️💻 ⏳ Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 00:22 - Tip 1: Start where you are 01:33 - Tip 2: Network like your career depends on it 03:58 - Tip 3: Don't rely on the front door 05:48 - Tip 4: Build an online presence 07:07 - Tip 5: Learn how to communicate your skills 🎶 Music by: Free Music for Videos 👉 Music by cold winter breeze - cold streaks - https://thmatc.co/?l=C064921A
