Medical Leadership in the NHS can either be chore you got dumped into & have to serve your time or hugely rewarding
Sadly how goes depends on who you work with as much as your own personality
I was pressed into it but really enjoy it
Advocacy of colleagues
Strategic insights 7/n
BUT it can be an intensely lonely place
You dont belong anywhere
Peers see you as sold to the dark side - a management shill
Managers and Execs forever question your commitment if you pushback or dont toe the “party” line
The whole “Manager vs Leader” is intensely tiresome 8/n
But for commercial Medical Leadership you need to be noticed
All that NHS audit, governance & other boring stuff?
Mana from the Gods when you bring this experience to the private sector
Private roles better defined
More appreciation
But still manager/Exec push/pull 😜 9/n
