Retail of any interest to you ? Lidl/Aldi store manager will have you on over 50 starting, higher up roles like som will have you near your current wage but it's quite high up on the stress level side of things, hours capped at 39 now also

I am led to believe on those schemes the hours are well in excess of 60 a week in reality the attrition rate is terrible and they run the business of cash hungry graduates and just replace them with a fresh batch when they have had enough...

To the OP it may be worth taking a break and maybe do some volunteering rather than changing career completely

Go to flying school and become an airline pilot. You sound like you've got the dough and age is still on your side.

Along a similar line pay to train as an air traffic controller and then work at your nearest regional airport. Money for old rope at a quiet airport.

Heavily restricted hours and your own bed at the end of each day.

It would help if you gave an idea what you do in the NHS. Office/support role or a medical practitioner of some sort?

They're are lots of ex medics and NHS employees in the pharmaceutical industry, and they are good payers. Plenty of different kinds of roles from sales/marketing to med info/regulatory or health economics which is essential in gaining product approval with the NHS.
