Flexible Working

Like many parents, medical and non-medical there are several pressures on the work life balance, but the most important thing will always be family.

Balancing our professional responsibilities and childcare (with our growing family and number 2) has been challenging but we have made it work for us.

I am a cardiologist and in January 2020 I chose work more flexibly to provide childcare for my 3 children who were 1, 6 and 8 years at the time.

It allows more time for CPD and reflection and I would definitely recommend it!

We each work three days per week, overlapping on the day of the TOE list, which we share.

I have found working less than full time very fulfilling.

At the end of a career as a cardiologist, I won’t look back at missed clinics.

I feel incredibly grateful for our current situation.

“Work-life” balance flexibility has been one of the most important commodities for me.

My non working days have allowed me time to have head space.
