I have found that my career opportunities have grown since being in Qatar. As Britain is becoming so diverse, it is invaluable to work with many different cultures and nationalities. I know that when I return to the UK, I will be a more valuable commodity, particularly as an ED Nurse Practitioner. Plus, as a QP employee, the medical services are excellent and, seemingly, without budget. If you hurt your back for example, an MRI is usually arranged within 48 hours. Obviously there are frustrations too, but on the whole, as long as you don't stay 20 years, it is a positive step. I wish you the very best of luck, all the best JJ
