A fantastic free service that educates doctors in financial ways. Ensure you are paid correctly and claim back the money you are owed, which was thousands of pounds for myself. Obtain truly independent and knowledgeable accountants and financial advisors to help towards financial independence.Thank you medics money!

I have found your podcasts interesting and informative on financial aspects of our working lives that we were not taught about. I agree with you, Financial Health should be on the medical school curriculum. The reason I have given it four starts is indirectly linked with the podcast. The advisor recommended via your site has called me once and since receiving the information from NHS pensions agency (which took a few weeks because this is how long it takes to get the paperwork these days) has not replied any of my emails or returned calls. I am obviously disappointed. Could you please ask the financial advisers who agree to be contacted to be committed to the process. Thank you for your time and energy.

Massive thank you to Tommy and Ed for all that they do to help empower their fellow medics, especially those like myself who just wouldn't have had a clue where to start to sort out their finances. I found the podcasts a great first step to give me ideas for things that I could then later look at more closely - and how amazing that the team have put together so many resources that then make these subsequent steps way easier! I can't recommend Medics Money highly enough :-)

Aimed at medics, they offer sensible advice relating to issues medics face. Even a complete novice like me understood the financial principles, thanks to their presentations which are easy to understand. Best of all, they have podcasts which I can listen to on my walks.I think every medic should listen to them at-least once.

I have found Medics Money to be very helpful in identifying suitable medical accountancy firms who can provide expert information on my complex financial needs. The website is easy to navigate and has lots of useful information which instils confidence. I was contacted very promptly by one of the recommended firms who gave me some important advice on NHS Pensions. I am still waiting to hear from the accountants but I understand that this is a very busy period for them with lots of interest from doctors based on the new pension rules. Tom contacted me early on to ensure I was happy with the service provided which was reassuring and indicates how serious he is in helping medics to better their financial situation. Thanks for setting up your website. I really appreciate it.

Pete at Legal and Medical Investments helped find me income protection that was flexible and could scale with my salary as I progress through training. He was knowledgeable, efficient and helped me to understand the nuances of the different offerings. I never felt pressured into committing to a product. I would recommend the company to any medic looking for an independent financial advisor that understands our pay and some of the absurdities that come with it.
