I was a medical secretary for 18 months for a consultant orthopaedic surgeon - loved the actual job role side of things but the work environment made my life hell. Bitchy women who worked there since the Middle Ages not liking new blood coming in. Caused me to have a mental breakdown and go off sick! Please don’t let my experience tarnish your opinion though, every workplace is different.
Interview tips - read the job description and pick up on key buzz words e.g organisation skills, time management and use them in your interview when they ask questions. Like other posters have said, the NHS offers great job security & opportunities for progression.
Best of luck!
