Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Working in the research department to help set up and collect data for studies. This includes screening patients, approaching them to explain the study, carrying out observations and follow up appointments
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I love it. It is flexible and rewarding yet is still challenging. I love that I can complete my degree as I work and apply what I am learning to my everyday job
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes. I have learnt many practical and clinical skills, as well as an in-depth knowledge about clinical research
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
Pretty well. Was some poor communication from the uni at the start but they have improved in the meantime. My work are very good at assigning me the right amount of work
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
A lot, they are very approachable and understanding
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
I have the contact details to get in touch with someone if I need help, but am left to get in with it by myself
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
It does help. Not all modules are relevant but most
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
I try and network, which is difficult during Covid. Perhaps once restrictions lift, this will be possible.

Brilliant team, approachable management, fair pay and working hours
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to NHS?
You have to make the effort to get to know and build a relationship with people, they won’t all try with you.
If you put in the work they will reward you. It goes both ways!
