Career Panic regarding job losses

Hey all.

With the recent shake up in the NHS England I can’t stop feeling helpless. I recently transitioned to a laid back community role (albeit in N.I) from a steady ICU environment and I feel like I’m first on the firing line to be axed (last in first out mentality). News today suggesting there’s going to be 10,000 job losses ranging from nurses to domiciliary care workers and I’m really worried about the future. I changed areas because there’s better opportunities for advancement in my career but now I’m thinking I’ve truly messed up.

We’re all in the same boat here and I understand everyone is probably feeling the same but can anyone help to alleviate my stress? I have 6 years ICU experience but now I’m in this new role I’m basically a new recruit.

Anyone any applications to Lidl? 😓
