If so, I would really appreciate some advice.
I have always been fascinated by medicine but my career is in something completely different.
I have two small children (2 and nearly 5) and just wonder if there is any mileage in me investigating retraining to be a doctor.
I have no science a-levels so would have to do them first. Then I guess it would be the quick compressed course (4 years). A few questions:
a) would I ever see my children, both during initial training or the hospital bit afterwards? I currently work 3 days a week and would not be prepared to do more than, say 40 hours a week at any stage.
b) would I have to work nights (total dealbreaker for me if so)
c) would I bankrupt myself - e.g., would I have to pay full fees as I have a first degree from a UK uni?
d) would I even be able to get on a course at the ripe old age of 38?!?!!?
I think I have answered my own question with all my restrictions (!) but I thought I would ask anyway...
