I really enjoyed getting an insight into low senior doctors and consultants go about their daily roles, and also how they help and care for their patients. Seeing doctors at work was inspiring and I can't wait to be a part of it.

From this wonderful opportunity that this 10 week programme has provided me with, I truly enhanced my knowledge of how an NHS hospital functions. One of the best things which I have experienced during the placement is comforting a patient when they were going through a lumbar puncture. This experience has also helped develop my inter-personal skills and gave me an insight into the true role of a doctor.

From having this opportunity to have work experience at NDDH I have gained more knowledge of the medical professions. Just listening to how doctors stories of how they got to where they are has been eye-opening and inspiring. I have experienced many emotions during my time here and have found it a great experience as a whole.

Shadowing a range of doctors has given me a huge variety of experiences which were fantastic talking points in university interviews, and due to the length of time with each professional I was able to describe in great detail the experiences and procedures that I witnessed.

Being able to shadow a variety of specialists has benefited my appreciation and has also helped me bring my own individual experiences to university interviews.
