Penny's Testimonial:

You will want to work here; trust me I know what I’m talking about. I’ve worked at those practices who expect you to work yourself into the ground; others where you actually end up working 20+ hours more than your contract; and the ones which think you’re a master magician who has split themselves in two, to do fourteen things at once. This is not one of those places!

The working environment is great – I have made genuine friends. Everyone was so supportive and happy to help out whenever I needed a bit of help. You’ll have more than enough time and freedom to work up cases properly and ensure you provide gold standard care, with the support of the clients. In fact, most of the clientele are nice, of course there are always a few which aren’t, but on the whole they are great - I’m constantly taking home gifts from grateful clients. You will genuinely be able to develop in things you want to.

You like surgery? You’ll get to do loads! Or do you prefer medicine?

There are loads of cases, and some quite weird ones too! You definitely won’t get pigeon-holed into one thing and one thing only – like so many other jobs. Personally, I was able to really develop my cardiac scanning ability, with the support of everyone in the practice. We all pulled together to make sure the job was done and we could go home on time, every day. And one of the best things? There’s always a few treats flying around the practice...
