Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My daily responsibilities included completing paperwork for CFS and applying for them, coordinating with global registration teams and using regulatory databases and product lifecycle management systems. I also supported the EUDAMED team and worked cross functionally.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I have been given the perfect level of responsibility, allowing me to get the most out of my placement. My manager always went above and beyond to make herself available to support me with tasks where needed. I also took on additional duties within the on-site STEM teams.

I developed my Microsoft Excel skills greatly, as well as my use of other key workplace applications such as Adobe Sign.

There are great STEM groups and CSR initiatives to get involved with and there is a large group of placement students, apprentices and graduate scheme students onsite.
