hi laura, congrats on the APC. i am still a million miles away or thats how i feel!
i was lucky enough to get a sabattical from my NHS job in 2007 and returned a year later. now back in the job for 2 years it is clear career progression is minimal with 2 managers above me. i did travel to both oz and NZ and travelled for a number of months so this is the attraction of coming back and working there as a physio. it just seems such a lot of work to do esp with the lack of jobs. but your def right you wont know until you try so will get my head down and get going again. thanks and let me know how you get on.

cheers

gillon
