Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
As an Undergraduate Junior Clinical Data Manager in the Oncology department within the Clinical Data Sciences Team, my role is a vital part of the clinical trial process. You help ensure that the data collected during trials is accurate, organised, and ready for analysis, which is essential for developing new medicines.
Your work directly supports scientists and researchers by maintaining the integrity of clinical data, enabling them to trust the results and make informed decisions about future treatments.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
So far, I’ve had loads of responsibility, which has been great for learning early on. I’ve spoken to past placement students too, and they said the same, you’re trusted to take on what you’re ready for, and there’s plenty of support if you want to push yourself.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
