Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I was responsible for multiple studies within the company. I had to ensure the processing, tracking, and filing of study documents, and management of the Trial Master File within these clinical projects were being done in the correct manner. I also had to administratively support clinical study staff as required and support project managers within the assigned clinical studies.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was responsible for the TMF filing of multiple studies - if these were missing or filed incorrectly this could lead in an audit failure and have serious implications on the study. I was also trusted to directly contact hospital sites and investigators to obtain relevant documentation and arrange collection/delivery or expensive medical equipment.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have learnt to use vTMF and CTMS applications at a proficient level which will make it easier for me to work on clinical studies in the future. I have also become more proficient in excel which has multipurpose use with lots of jobs. I feel much more comfortable and confident conducting myself in a professional manner - whether that is in in person meetings or over email.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
There is a large support network within J&J. I worked directly under my line manager who I would be able to contact at any time if I had any difficulties. The wider team within the office were very helpful too as I could rely on anyone for assistance if became stuck. There is also a hub of slides and manuals if you can refer to if needed.

There is clear evidence the team follow and lead by the company credo.

There is an on-site gym with personal trainer and classes and a physiotherapist too.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I enjoyed my placement a lot. It is very easy to obtain a relaxed work-life balance as you can work flexi hours of your choice. The company comes with many benefits too such as an on-site gym and staff shop. Even-though it is a very relaxed environment you are still able to get a lot of work done which feels extra meaningful as I am contributing to medical studies and helping the lives of others.
