Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Supporting the team to achieve the access and uptake of Pfizer medicines through managing comms with external stakeholders, generating analytics to inform publication strategy/internal decision making and supporting with ad-hoc tasks. A typical day can involve a range of different tasks covering multiple stages across the market access timeline.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I feel a lot of trust was placed in me on a number of occasions. In particular, I was trusted to present to senior leaders in the organisation a few times which I feel was a fantastic opportunity for me to improve my confidence & presentational skills. This was a lot of pressure however I felt supported and trusted to handle this responsibility.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I received a huge amount of support and really did feel I could reach out at any time to the team with questions/queries. The 'buddy' system is an amazing way to receive support and guidance and I feel this, along with regular catch-ups with my line manager created an environment where there was always someone I could speak to and get support from.
