um
1step - I had a quick google and look at options.
Are you looking full time or part time?
Speaking as a non-academic, although got as far as masters ...
Seems Prof Doc may be cheaper? And if health related may get some ££ bursary/support?
As you say, more teaching, but still a 1-2 year 'project' that may have a slightly looser research or 'new' or 'adds to the subject knowledge' element than a PhD. It looks more structured and institution based rather than a PhD , which I assume is very dependent to the supervisor.
But also 'new' - so would it be accepted professionally, if that's what you want, as a PhD.
As above - I'd suggest asking around in the academic communtiy as well as your 'employment' community, if that's why you're thinking of it.

um
And stupidly, I'd been thinking along similar lines. I'm retired, I'm not travelling. I still feel 'young' and motivated. Should I go and try a PhD (something IT / operational / change or project management) and put my experience and thoughts to potential use - even though it's really only a personal hobby/challenge.
vs do I want a 3-5 year commitment ?

Sorry can't really help 1step. We have PhD and MD programmes, but I'm not sure about ProfDoc.

Thanks Um, the prof docs are growing in popularity and the structure may suit me as I'm a car crash type of student at the best of times.
I'll do some more digging!
Um you should do it

Wow 1step hope it all goes well whichever option you go with.
I had a little meltdown on placement this morning which has led to me being sent home this afternoon and being given study leave for the week. I've been told I am to be off next week self certified in order to help me 'get back to myself'. Stuff going on in personal family life affecting me a bit which when piled on top of the course and other 'stuff' has just worn me down. I feel exhausted. It was all triggered by that silly question "How are you?" I apologised afterwards I mean I'm supposed to be there looking after people not the other way around!
Anyway, I will finish my essay tomorrow. Damn references. All the NMC stuff is now in online PDF form so I can't put it through Harvard referencing on word. I have a few PDF's to do then a last read through for missing words, grammar etc. Friday I have another safe medicate practice exam. I'm not too concerned about that as I have done four now and got 100% on each but I don't want to become complacent. I can just imagine me doing something stupid again like last time.

Looking after others can’t be done if you don’t look after yourself first c
