So I have FINALLY started my first laboratory placement as a medical lab assistant volunteer at a hospital. I will be doing 8 weeks of unpaid work, 3 days a week. After that I will be registered on the staff bank system so I could apply for jobs within the NHS.
I've only done 1 week so far and have to say I am truly enjoying this experience. Although the hospital is far from me, I'm not very bothered about it as i know the next 7 weeks will fly by.
I'm also working during the weekends so that means I only get 2 rest days during the week.
As I have already mentioned (I think I did)x, I did not apply to medicine this year but hope to apply in 2017 for 2018 entry in shaa Allah.
I haven't found any shadowing work yet but will update what I am up to once I finish my placement.
