Pros

Lovely staff (depending on the ward), everyone is really friendly and knows each other

Cons

An intense fast paced job, where you'll have varying levels of supervision. Medical school won't really prepare you for it, a lot of learning on the job. I worked at north Tees and medical wards had varying levels of supervision. Prepare to be out of your depth, but you'll get the hang of it.

Pros

Great sense of purpose and meaning in the work. Colleagues are genuinely dedicated and supportive. Good variety of tasks day to day, and you gain a wide range of clinical and interpersonal skills quickly. Job security is a major plus.

Cons

Staffing levels are often stretched thin, which puts pressure on everyone. Pay hasn't kept pace with the demands of the role. Management can feel disconnected from frontline realities, and communication from the top down is inconsistent.
