Overview
Completed various analyses on drug products which included using the lab as well as processing the data from the office on the computer. Due to COVID, this could be done at home to avoid unnecessary trips to the site.
Skills
I have learnt both chemistry related technical/practical skills as well as other transferrable skills such as time management and being able to complete work to a professional standard.
Responsibilities
Yes, especially when doing the student project as the main responsivity on how and when to complete this in the time provided was down to me. In addition, I had to complete activities often by myself to a GMP quality.
Support & Guidance
I received plenty in that if I ever needed any support I could easily ask any of my team members and they were more than happy to help guide me.
Culture
Very nice and clearly takes care of it employees.
Your Impressions
I thoroughly enjoyed it both working in this professional manner, but also meeting other like-minded scientists.
Yes
Don't worry if you don't know everything at first, it will come in time then it will be second nature to you.
