Pathology disciplines vary in their opening hours from: 24/7 in haematology/chemistry... on-call staff obviously receive shift bonuses, whereas histopath & microbiology are generally not open-all-hours, and don't enjoy shifts!
Unfortunately, career progression in this profession allied to medicine is a bit poor at the minute and we may get stitched in A4C too.
There are a variety of non-scientific admin jobs in pathology too which are actually quite interesting - writing up diagnostic reports, post-mortem reports, secretarial and PA work etc.
Kentish, you're a medical student are you not? Our new Consultant Histopathologist is aged 32 - £80,000. Hardly poorly paid.
Oh ok.
doesn't seem very good pay to me.
what does the work entail?
that seems pretty low
Lol i suppose it's not that great but when your a poor nursing student it's better than nothing!
Well i'll be just doing the job as a Health Care Assisstant. So basically all i do is help the patients with tasks such as washing, dressing, feeding, going to the toilet etc. Also you help staff nurses and basically run around to x-ray, the lab and other wards when your needed to.
ahh yes, my sister used to do it when she was a student. she's not even a nurse now though anymore!
my mum has worked for the nhs allll of my life. she's a grade G or something now. they pay the bills i guess!
