Business outlook
Pros
Interesting work, sometimes working with inspiring people, continually meeting new faces, on your feet rather than stuck in an office
Cons
No room for promotion or career advancement other than waiting years to progress through surgical training. Training requires thousands of pounds per year out of your own pocket simply to do the job (in course fees, exam fees, regulatory body membership etc) and largely constitutes teaching yourself in your own time, rather than actual on the job training. Other doctors and nurses feel overworked and overstretched therefore arranging simple tasks becomes problematic
