A different way to think about 2026
Why £100K feels harder than it should
If you’re already consulting outside the NHS, this might sound familiar.
You’re earning well.
But opportunities still need chasing.
Fees still feel capped.
And growth depends on how much time you have.
Many doctors reach this point, not because they’ve failed, but because they’ve reached the limit of the hired expert model.
The doctors who go on to earn £200K+ haven’t just taken on more work.
They’ve changed how they’re positioned and how they’re seen.
To kick off the New Year, I’m running a free live session that breaks down that shift clearly and practically.
It’s not about jobs.
Not about more qualifications.
And not about hustling harder.
It’s about moving from being hired… to being sought after.
If 2026 feels like it should look different, this is a good place to start.
Warmly,
Abeyna
PS: If you’ve ever felt you’re working in your expertise rather than being known for it, this will land.
