You pick up various skills working in a busy department from potting arms and legs to gluing heads from nasty open wounds

2/5
My experience personally has been a good one but covid 19 has unsettled things slightly as college was stopped and everything was to be done at home
How much support do you receive from your employer?
2/5
Support from my empoyer has been good, covid put a stop to my study days so I was working and doing my apprenticeship in my spare time which could be difficult when doing days and nights.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I have received amazing support from my tutor, always on the end of the phone or email if you prefer. onefile is really handy as you can work on there through assignments but also message your tutor for support if needed.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I think I have gained great knowledge through my apprenticeship, and it makes you think a little bit more about certain situations such as infection control etc
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
Not at the moment due to covid
