Thinking about a change of career and stepping away from your job in academia? Perhaps it’s something you’ve thought about but the idea of searching for your next role seems too daunting? In this episode, we hear one associate professor's story of quitting her job to become a medical writer and why she hasn’t looked back since. We learn practical tips that could help in the search for your next job. Plus, we hear how to process some of the worries that come with transitioning away from a career in academia.

Join Eleanor Newton as she speaks to Dr Hannah Moir, a senior medical writer at the Emergency Medicine Journal (EMJ) and a Senior fellow at Kingston University. And Janelle Ward, a former researcher who now coaches academics looking to pivot their own careers.
