When you start working as a doctor, a myriad of different options are on offer. Ellen is a foundation doctor, and in this episode she tells me that it can be useful to plan both short term and long term career steps. Even if you think you know what you want to do, it still pays to keep your mind open and build generic capabilities and achievements. It's also important to consider how work fits into the rest of your life. And I love her view that leadership roles roles enable her to make a difference.

Dr Ellen Nelson-Rowe is a junior doctor on a specialised foundation programme for Medical Education based in East Midlands. Her career passions are surgery, medical education and leadership which her dream is to combine all in a portfolio career. She also has a keen interest in communications and continues to balance leadership roles alongside her foundation training. Some of the organisations she is currently involved with include The Healthcare Leadership Academy, Melanin Medics and SFO ENT UK. She is passionate about her faith and ensures to prioritise church and life around the demands of F1.
