In this episode, I’m sharing the honest story of my decision to leave the NHS after more than 20 years as a dietitian. This isn’t about criticising the system or the profession that shaped my career. The NHS gave me incredible experience, friendships and opportunities that I’ll always value. But there came a point where I realised the life I wanted and the way I was working were no longer aligned.
I talk openly about the thoughts I had for years before I made the change, the guilt that came with wanting more, and the moment I realised I needed to take my private practice seriously. If you’re currently working in the NHS and quietly wondering whether you want something different, this episode will help you feel less alone and give you insight into what building something alongside your clinical role can look like.
In This Episode I Talk About:
Thinking About Your Own Next Step?
If you love being a dietitian but feel like you want more flexibility, income or impact, you’re not alone. I now work with health professionals who want to build ethical, sustainable businesses that don’t rely purely on one-to-one clinical work.
