Medical Administration ‘found me’ whilst I was working as a clinician in the Navy. The specialty has allowed me to participate right across the health continuum and make a difference to the lives of clinicians, patients and their carers. From designing and operationalising new services; teaching & mentoring; optimising workforce management frameworks; managing emergencies & disasters; and bringing clinical governance to life – this job is amazing.
Every day in the office is different and challenging, but I wouldn’t change it for the world.
Dr Elizabeth Rushbrook
