Hello all Wondering if you can help, I am currently an NHS nurse but am considering retraining as a podiatrist. I am feeling a bit burned out, I work 12.5 hour shifts and we rarely get breaks, I am also sick of being viewed by the public as a doctor’s handmaiden whose only function is to plump up pillows and give out tablets! I want to remain working in healthcare and become more of an autonomous practitioner, as podiatrists seem to be. However, are working conditions for podiatrists in the NHS just as dire as they are for nurses, being extremely short staffed and overworked?
