About Beyond The Ward

Beyond the Ward is designed to be a community of healthcare professionals who provide support to each other as they explore career options outside the NHS. The author of "Beyond the Ward" is our founder, Dr Paul Hercock, a doctor with 15 years clinical experience in the NHS.

After feeling trapped in clinical practice for many years, Paul decided to look into career options outside the NHS. After several years of trial and error he eventually secured a position as Medical Advisor with a multinational medical device company.

Along the way, valuable lessons were learned about how to make the transition from clinical practice to life in the Pharmaceutical and Life Science Industry. Beyond the Ward passes these lessons on to you.
