Rachael Heenan, an employment law and governance specialist, thinks the pressure healthcare professionals face is immense.
My family has a history of working in the public sector and I have always been fascinated by healthcare; my first job was as a healthcare assistant when I was 15. I love working within the health sector – the issues are always complex and challenging, but you get to work with people who have a real desire to make patients’ lives better.
Lawyers often get a bad press, but many of us work in the sector because we want to help deliver the right, and safe, services for patients.
I originally trained as a barrister and then a solicitor but most of my time these days is working on strategies for solving organisations’ problems so they can concentrate on looking after patients.
