Pulse Portfolio Careers

Pulse has launched a new series on portfolio careers, covering the whole spectrum, from an expedition doctor to a sports medic, from a prison GP to a CQC advisor.

It will feature a (tongue-in-cheek) quiz, asking respondents whether they are public minded, whether they are bothered about being liked by peers, whether they want to travel around the world and whether they genuinely want to spend more time with patients.

There are 16 possible pathways, and each ends up on a different careers page. These will detail what qualifications are necessary for that particular role, the expected pay, the amount of hours that need to be committed and the positives and negatives of the role.

This Portfolio Careers series has been sponsored by the MDDUS, who provide details around the medico-legal aspects of every role.

It launches today, along with the new Pulse Careers platform, which is targeted at GP trainees, newly-qualified GPs and those considering the next stages of their career.

The platform provide all the essential news around jobs and recruitment, as well as analysis and advice, columns from experts and those who have stories to tell around their own career paths.

It will also feature special reports and series similar to the Portfolio Quiz, which will help GPs to consider the next stages of their careers. These will include looking at life as a GP overseas, what international medical graduates need to know about working in the UK and a guide to embarking on a successful locum career. We are also hoping to launch webinars to help GPs find jobs, or provide advice on the options open.

There will be a fortnightly newsletter, with the highlights from the previous two weeks on Pulse Careers.

This follows the successful launch of a white paper on the recruitment and unemployment crisis by Cogora, the publishers of Pulse, which examined the reasons why GPs are struggling to find work at the same time as practices are understaffed. You can find all of Pulse’s coverage here.
