    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • I was given a couple of feedback sessions while on placement which helped a lot. It would have been great to have a couple more regular, formal sessions, however we were very busy and I did know how I was doing mostly.

    3/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I was extremely busy, espeically towards the second half of my placement. This was sometimes very overwhelming and I had to stay till quite late to get the expected workload done. Some staff members flagged this to higher members of the team which helped to distrubute the workload more effectively. However, I feel it was a learning experience to help me understand how to manage my workload.
