Intern - Product Regulatory Compliance Review

I support the Devices and Novel Actives Team in Product Regulatory Compliance. We landscape for all our devices and wellness and stimulation products in our markets as well as possible markets for us to move into. My Day to Day work usually involves liasing cross-functionally across the company to ensure that the regulatory requirements for our products are clear to product developers, fellow scientists and design teams. I also developed a search engine tool to make compliance documents more accessible for our internal stakeholders.

Yes I have, the new skill I developed was coding for Microsoft Suite - mostly with PowerApps and PowerBI. This enabled me to display data for our internal stakeholders in the most easy format for themselves, and helping our day to day processes become more efficient with more time savings. There have been many opportunities to improve my verbal communication skills. I designed and presented a poster, giving me the chance to clearly articulate both the technical aspects of my work and my personal development.

My manager also gave me the autonomy to choose and manage my own project. This ranged from creating a timeline to ensuring that the project will be handed over correctly once I leave. I also chaired team meetings and chose my own topics to present at department meetings.

A lot of support, which I was grateful for. At the beginning of the placement, as interns, we are assigned with a line manager, a buddy (someone in my department), a placement team mentor and a mentor within the company to help achieve my end of placement goals. Everyone is very supportive and we have multiple people that we can comfortably go to for guidance.

Very friendly and supportive. People are interested in what the interns are doing and who they are. If you ask for advice, people are keen to offer

I really enjoyed it, my team and department were very supportive and made work enjoyable too. The overall company atmosphere is super friendly! The other interns are really nice. My work was enjoyable also and I feel like I learnt so much that I maybe wouldn't have learnt elsewhere

Yes

Do your research before the interview, ask a question back to your interviewers. You will be presenting a lot in the internship so make sure you're ready to use and better those skills! Network with everyone possible and join any social groups you're interested in
