From Clerks to Chief Executives
From the smallest clinic to the largest hospital, the NHS could not function without its receptionists, clerks, accountants and managers. Entry requirements vary and there are a range of training and advancement opportunities.
Most roles don't require medical training but many involve working closely with medical staff to ensure they have everything they need. Managers who take responsibility for clinical services or departments are often required to have experience of that area of operation.
Some staff are given medical training as they can often be the first help on hand if someone becomes unwell while in a waiting area.
