Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend NHS to a friend?
No
Why?
If you have to choose a degree for the future I would not recommend anything healthcare related, as it does not pay as much as other degrees.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to NHS?
Be sure to spend some time at the hospital before choosing this career, you need to love what you're doing
