At the risk of being flamed, I'll post this anyway. I've been through all the unpleasantness and witnessed really good people treated appallingly which has given me no confidence in the new architecture or those "leading" it. Your NHS experience is a very valuable commodity. I'm not suggesting to sell it to the highest bidder like a VC funded start up who offer silly money but then it all goes pear shaped a few months later and you're left without a job - twice - but have a look at LinkedIn. Yes there are interim jobs there but we can't all live out of a suitcase. But type in "market access" and look at the jobs that come up. Don't assume that just because you're not a pharmacist or nurse you can't apply, look at the job spec. If you understand commissioning or programme management in healthcare, there are pharma companies out there who would benefit from your expertise. They are not sales roles, it's not about being a drug rep, these are senior posts where understanding contracting or financial flows or care pathway re-design or service/ project management (etc) are essential. I've been doing this for 5 years now and much as I miss my colleagues in the NHS and am nostalgic for the good old days when bullying wasn't quite so rife, I've been able to pay my bills and not just survive, but thrive. Good luck and best wishes to all.
