Why bother about career planning?
• From 2010 career management has more focus in Foundation Curriculum and portfolio
• Earlier decisions or positioning now needed• Everyone needs to be prepared for uncertainty,
compromise and change (in any career)• Careers don’t “just happen”- you live with your
choices• NHS workforce needs drive opportunity, not
personal dreams

• Some junior doctors know exactly which speciality they wish to enter, others want to keep options open – it works either way
• Some will put location before specialty, others vice-versa
• Most medical graduates are pluri-potential and will adapt well to a range of options

Exercise 1
• Sort cards under the 4 headings• No more than 8 “very important" cards
Then discuss with your colleagues:• Any surprises? • How similar or different are your preferences from those
of each other?• Any which might be more or less important in 10 years
time?• Will you find outlet for all the v important in your current
career choices?
