    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I felt fairly valued by the team, however given repetitive admin based tasks made me feel I was undervalued by the team. As the internship progressed I felt increasingly valued as I was taking on different tasks for different members of the team
