– Our value beyond traditional medical practice in the world of work is limitless.
If we’re unhappy with what we have today, it’s our responsibility as doctors to change this.
For the benefit of our patients, ourselves, healthcare and the world.
When I first started exploring alternative careers after many years of feeling like I’d made a huge mistake in pursuing medicine; I noticed something.
The reality is – as a doctor – moving over to any career beyond conventional medical practice is HARD.
Since (before) we started medical school, we’ve lived and trained in a bubble, designed to keep us working in a certain way in a pretty old institutional fashion.

The program starts off with an initial 6 months structured program, after which you will receive a Membership Award.
To work towards attaining the Fellowship, you will be invited to participate in live events and demonstrate personal progress for a minimum of 6 months.
If you want to take longer to achieve these milestones, you can, however the limit to achieving either is 30 months.
Because the foundational principles are the same and there is lots of overlap, this program is sector agnostic.
We’ve had doctors developing leadership careers in the public sector, starting their own coaching business, opening a new menopause clinic, consulting in Pharma whilst working in the public sector, developing a career in med tech, applying for the Big 3 Consulting firms – and more.
We also have plenty of content geared towards specific specialist interests – particularly Health Tech, Pharma and Consulting.
We have many doctors in our network who are already practicing successful careers in these sectors and can’t wait to connect you with them!
This program is designed to be flexible around your other commitments; e.g. holidays, work, on calls, family, activities etc.!
Our minimum recommended time commitment for at least the first 6 month period to get the most out of your investment and to make continuous progression is approximately 2-3 hours a week.
Live group sessions / Doctors Mess usually takes place monthly on the last Wednesday of the month between 7-8:30pm GMT.
We also run regular masterclasses which are either live small group sessions or panel discussions – all included in your programme.
All sessions are remote and will be recorded for your reference.
We also aim to hold up to 2 in person retreat day per year.

In the first 2 Cohorts, we’ve had doctors in Australia, New Zealand and Europe – with interest from doctors in Canada!
We have had doctors with MBAs on this program who joined for the live learnings, high value network and opportunity to really make huge mindset shifts to achieve their goals.
You can access any part of the online self-study that you feel is most relevant to you, at any time.
We also use the live sessions to problem solve challenges that are relevant to you NOW.
Beyond this, we have a structured approach for the first 6 months to ensure you have the best foundation to building a career beyond clinical.
The skillset and mindset to do both are very similar with many overlaps.
We also recognise that many doctors do both as part of a portfolio career or as a stepping stone to one full time.
We believe it is essential that all doctors learn what’s required to succeed in both situations so they have flexible choice in how they develop their career over time.
We will have sessions which cater to both groups and sessions for defined interest groups.
