Questions.
Is this just generic career advice?
No. Every map and plan is written for UK and EU healthcare professionals, with NHS grades, GMC and CCT realities, and named example organisations. The advice is specific enough to act on this week.
Do I have to leave medicine to use it?
No. Several routes, like NHS innovation, clinical safety, and medical affairs, are built around keeping one foot clinical. The quiz will point you to what fits your appetite for risk and change.
What do I get for £30?
Lifetime access to everything: my story so far (later chapters are in draft) as a decision log, the test-the-waters guide, the truth about courses, all 8 career maps, all 8 personalised 90-day plans, the CV and LinkedIn templates, the cold-message bank, the interview answers, the glossary, and the startup list. One payment, no subscription.
Is this just the same advice that is already on your TikTok?
No. The free videos are the thirty-second version. This is the long, honest version: the actual decisions I made and why, the unglamorous mechanics of how each move happened, and the practical steps to do it yourself. It is the stuff that does not fit in a clip.
Is the quiz really free?
Yes. You can take it and see your matched routes, match scores, and a preview of each, with only your email required to view results.
Does this guarantee me a job?
No, and anyone who promises that is selling something worse. This gives you a clear, honest map and a realistic plan. The work is still yours to do.
