Sam Naylor
Sam specialises in Psychiatry and currently works for the Greater Manchester Mental Health Staff Bank. For him, the best part of working for the NHS is the chance to have a positive impact on someone’s life, even if it’s just for a day. In Sam’s spare time he enjoys art and music, both of which would be taken to a desert island with him if he ever found himself stranded!
