Having really enjoyed the first year of the BSc Health and Social Care course, this gave me the opportunity to work in the Royal Gwent Hospital where I have found an environment I really enjoy working in and I am committed to developing my career within the NHS. I came to realise that embarking on this course would best suit my compassion and innate desire to help and care for people. Since as long as I can remember I have always been fascinated by the natural world and working within the laboratory has fuelled my ambition to pursue this career. I have a very busy post which a methodical attitude is necessary to deal with the varied duties involved. As part of my post I provide preparatory support to the department by preparing clinical specimens for biological testing. I perform routine technical and clerical tasks which do not require the skill and training of a State Registered BMS. Working within the pathology laboratory has given me a useful insight into the world of biomedical science and research. As part of my personal and professtional development i have to attend regular...

In this assignment I will introduce my research project and examine some of the issues surrounding my topic, take an initial look at the research papers I have chosen for my literature review and consider the wider context that the research took place in.

I am interested in this particular area of counselling as my impression is that it is currently the favoured form of counselling
in the UK with some form of hearing loss and helping these people hear again will provide me with a humbling sense of gratification. Therefore I feel that pursuing a career in Audiology is perfect for me. Undertaking A-Levels has given me underpinning knowledge, which will be necessary for me to thrive in Audiology. It has expanded my understanding and knowledge about the world we live in and has made me recognise how something so ‘simple’ such as hearing, in actuality is exceedingly complex. Studying

need as I perform my duties within the smallest of places with tiny equipment on delicate surfaces. Obviously there is a huge distinction between riding a horse and providing dental care, they both allow me to demonstrate my manual skills, however only one has the significant interpersonal component that I seek in a career. As much as I am thankful to the lady who taught me to ride horses, I am far more thankful to the orthodontist who renewed my confidence whilst straightening my teeth as a teenager;

My colleague and I received an emergency call at 03.40hrs to reports of a two-vehicle road traffic collision. Once on the scene it was confirmed as a high-speed collision. I was given a brief handover from the lead paramedic who was dealing with a patient that had sustained serious deceleration injuries due to the mechanisms involved. The paramedic stated,” the patient is mechanically trapped we have to wait for the fire service to cut him free”. Our priority at this stage was to prevent further

Teaching and Mentoring, as a Physician Associate (PA) student in my second year, has become an integral part of daily practice. My experiences over the past year have highlighted the importance of good quality, flexible teaching, which makes a great deal of difference to the amount of relevant information retained and then disseminated into practice.

many Americans are questioning the negative economic effects of their proposed wage and their lack of worthiness to receive that big of a pay raise. However, I believe that with some adjustment and research we can find a way to make everyone happy. My solution advises that we support Obama’s nine dollars an hour minimum wage proposal.
