Healthcare regulation isn't going anywhere.
If anything, it's getting more demanding, which means skilled regulatory professionals are in short supply and high demand.
Sheffield has a growing cluster of healthcare employers outside London's noise and cost, and a Head of Regulatory Affairs here gets real influence rather than a seat lost in a large bureaucracy.
Good people in this field build careers that last decades.
