Time for a career check-up?

When was the last time you did a health check on your career?

Any time is a great time to investigate your career symptoms, make a diagnosis and decide on your course of treatment!

The following questions might begin your investigation:

Am I enjoying my job, am I learning, growing and developing?
Is my income sufficient?
Do my current hours give me the right work/life balance?
Am I feeling bored or stale?
Do I enjoy the team I see every day?
Do I have a great mentor?
Is the normal professional development challenging me and keeping me fresh – or should I study further or develop a speciality?
Do I have the right equipment to do my job?
Does my practice support me through marketing, promotion and a good team?

If you can’t answer yes to most of the above questions then you may be in need of some career care planning!

Fortunately, as a GP you are in a strong position to treat the root cause of your symptoms – all of the hard work you have put in over many years had made you a valuable commodity in the marketplace!
