Map a move into healthcare administration

Added to the archive on 15 November 2026.

Identify the parts of your past work that transfer to healthcare administration.

Write down three jobs or activities you have done. For each, identify a task you could explain to a person who was never there. Then compare the list with adverts that mention appointments, referrals and patient enquiries. A connection might be a checking habit, a record you kept or a situation where you knew when to ask for help.

Try a small work sample

Draft a booking register using fictional records. Use fictional information and write a short note explaining how you approached one decision. Save the sample alongside your job search notes. Use it to decide what to learn next and what evidence to discuss with a recruiter.
