Administrative tasks including filing, sending shipments, responding to emails and participation in team meetings.

Developed skills including verbal and written communication, teamwork, public speaking/presentation, time-management and attention to detail.

Solely responsible for CTA activities for multiple clinical trials. Also allocated responsibilities within the team, including within training of new CTAs and presentations.

Supported by two mentors with daily contact and weekly meetings. Work allocated and overseen by a line manager, who I had frequent meetings with. CTA tasks overseen by the study team, including site managers and local trial manager. Supported by a large team of experienced CTAs to answer questions and check my work when necessary.

Very friendly culture, where asking questions and forming new connections was encouraged. I felt very supported by all colleagues in my team, and it felt my personal and professional development was a priority.

Thoroughly enjoyed my placement year, as it feels extremely valuable for my personal and professional development. I have made an extensive network of connections to support my future career, and feel I have gained a huge number of skills which will be essential for my future studies and graduate prospects. I have also obtained a huge amount of industry knowledge and understanding.
