It is OK. I don't love it, but I believe it is to do with the current placement I am in rather than the job overall.

Not very well, constantly chasing for information compared to other programmes. University delivery isn't good. Feel like we are all constantly unsure of things.
How much support do you receive from your employer?

Varies, early careers is not as often as I think it should be. Speak with placement manager most days.

I haven't had the topics overlap with what I do in my placement yet
