The A–Z HealthTech Career Guide
Written by Dr Yath Prem, an NHS doctor who traded the wards for health-tech. The complete, no-filler playbook to help you land your own role within the next 12 months.
As heard on The HealthTech Podcast · Regular panellist at UK health-tech events
I made the jump. This is the guide I needed.
I'm Yath, a medical doctor who left clinical practice after Foundation Training to build a career at the intersection of medicine and technology. In under four years I've gone from stepping out of the NHS to holding a senior role in the industry, working across the full health-tech spectrum, from pre-seed startups to Series C and global, category-defining brands. I've moved fast, and I know what it takes to help you do the same.
This isn't written by a career coach who's never set foot in the industry. It's written by someone who has stood in resus at 3am, felt the weight of a system that works against its own people, and chose to channel that into building better healthcare from the outside.
Five parts. The full transition, start to finish.
A deliberate narrative arc that mirrors the real journey out of medicine. Read it cover to cover, or return to it at each stage.
Every chapter closes with a Reflection & Action section with three questions to challenge your assumptions and three concrete next steps to build momentum.
Considered, practical, and built to be used
Not theory from a career coach who's never set foot in health-tech. Just frameworks and playbooks you can act on this week.

If you've felt the pull away from the wards but don't know what comes next, this guide is the map you wish someone had handed you.
Doctors after Foundation
Foundation-trained and questioning the next rotation. You want a deliberate exit, not a leap into the unknown.
Medical students
Curious about a future beyond clinical practice and wanting to build relevant experience early, before you're locked in.
Healthcare professionals
Nurses, pharmacists and allied health professionals ready to translate frontline insight into building better healthcare.
From clinicians who've walked the path
Even after making my own transition into health-tech, I found frameworks I hadn't considered and started thinking more carefully about what career longevity actually looks like. Rare that something feels both practically useful and genuinely thought-provoking.
As a GP who's been thinking about moving into industry for years, this cut through all the noise. It's honest, structured, and clearly written by someone who's actually done it. I've already recommended it to two colleagues.
Everyone talks about alternative careers but nobody explains the how. This does. I finished it in one sitting and immediately started reworking how I'm presenting myself professionally.
This gave me a language and a framework for thinking about my skills that I hadn't had before. It's not just for doctors. If you work in healthcare and you're curious about where the industry is going, it's relevant to you.
LOVE IT! There is so much out there and yes you could try put it all together but that takes time and I feel like this guide did all the heavy lifting for me at a fraction of the price of some courses out there!!
Even after making my own transition into health-tech, I found frameworks I hadn't considered and started thinking more carefully about what career longevity actually looks like. Rare that something feels genuinely useful as an insider.
As a GP who's been thinking about moving into industry since qualifying, this cut through all the noise. It's honest, structured, and has lots of extremely helpful resources including the list of 50 companies as a solid starting point.
Everyone talks about alternative careers but nobody explains the how. This guide provided so much clarity and helped me map out my options.
Yath makes it clear this space is no longer easy to break into on his Instagram, and after numerous failed applications, I felt hopeless. But since applying the principles in this guide, I've already received 3 interviews.
I picked this up expecting a generic career guide. The content on positioning yourself within clinical product roles was something I haven't seen covered well anywhere else.
