Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My day to day role varies depending on what project or tasks I'm focusing on. It involves being up to date with learning content on the GSK learning platform. It may also involve tasks related to any project I'm involved with to ensure successful completion. I am involved in various meetings to ensure I grasped an understanding of current projects.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I was given responsibility during my internship. I was assigned with projects and tasks. One of the main projects I was given responsibility for, was creating content regarding treatable traits relating to asthma to ensure engagement. Another task I was responsible for was analysing the learning platform used by GSK to suggest improvements on how the use of this site could be enhanced.
