Take control of your future and design a career which is energising and sustainable

Career Reflections

We're fortunate as doctors to have had our training pathways clearly mapped out for us. However in our later careers we can find ourselves feeling a bit stuck, sometimes accepting a pattern of work which doesn't quite fit anymore and which may be causing significant compromise in other areas of life.

Harnessing the power of the group for Career Development

career development for senior clinicians

Since 2022 I've been running 'Career Pitstop' workshops for senior clinicians within the NHS. Many of these workshops have been run in collaboration with NHSE-SE, but I have also delivered bespoke Career Pitstops for several NHS Trusts across the UK. 

The workshops aim to create an environment which encourages unhurried reflection, challenges default thinking-styles and supports creative problem-solving. A group approach is so effective for this work -  tapping into the collective intelligence and sharing the common challenges of a long medical career leads to delegates feeling empowered and energised to make positive changes to enhance the sustainability of their careers. 


What impact do these courses have?

 Long-term follow-up of course delegates over the last few years strongly suggests that the course is highly effective in helping senior clinicians make small but significant changes to their working patterns and roles, and remain active and engaged within the NHS.

What Delegates Say...

"Radically different from anything else provided, and very thought provoking."


"It was one of the best CPD days I have done in my career."


"I enjoyed connecting with other doctors and they helped me to challenge my thoughts and assumptions. Lois was a brilliant facilitator, making it a thoroughly enjoyable and energising experience"


"Lois...the pitstop day was terrific, a rare opportunity to think and reflect in a very conducive setting. Everyone else was clearly equally enthused! Many thanks indeed."



Delegates were asked if they would recommend this workshop to colleagues:


  • "I would recommend this workshop to everyone. I would value the opportunity to do it again – I thought it was brilliant - I would cancel anything to do it again!"
  • "Every consultant 3-10years into their career should be on the course."
  • "I would wholeheartedly recommend you run more of the same workshop."
  • "I remain extremely grateful for an incredibly generous, useful and stimulating day and suggest this is offered annually to the Trust’s consultant body. Please continue to support our colleagues. You have an incredible talent and I hope your courses go from strength to strength. It really is valuable beyond words, and I am sure all the others who attended although all in different positions, will be saying something similar."
