27 Amit Patel: Leaving Medicine and Creating a Peachy Future
In this episode I meet Amit Patel, former breast and endocrine surgeon who left the NHS to pursue a career in business and entrepreneurship. After six years in Director roles for the £12bn international healthcare group BUPA, Amit decided to strike out on his own and found Peachy, the UK's first truly digital health insurance platform targeting millenials and small to medium-sized enterprises. He describes the tough decision to leave medicine, how he weighed up his love for helping people and performing surgery with the challenges of control of career path as a doctor. Amit talks openly and honestly about taking on risk and keeping moving forward even when life is uncertain. This is an episode that will resonate strongly with people in vocational professions - medicine, dentistry, law etc. - who are exploring their options and also with those who have left and are struggling with doubt or regret.
