Gemma Sinclair is a qualified careers professional with over 10 years’ experience in the NHS, providing careers guidance and supporting doctors to make informed career decisions and navigate complex training and recruitment processes.

Through my work, I have seen how common it is for doctors to feel uncertain at different points in their training — particularly when making decisions around specialty choice, taking time out of training, or exploring alternative career routes.

My approach is grounded in professional careers guidance. Sessions are structured and impartial, focused on helping doctors think clearly, explore realistic options, and identify practical next steps — without pressure to follow a single, predefined career pathway.
