Summary

Committed and professional BSc Biomedical Science student with previous experience in a GP surgery and a strong ambition to become a doctor. I bring excellent communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to stay calm and organised under pressure making me well-suited to busy, patient-focused environments such as GP practices, pharmacies, and hospital settings. I understand the importance of confidentiality, teamwork, and delivering high standards of care, and I am always eager to learn. I take pride in being reliable, adaptable, and confident in working both with patients and behind the scenes. I am now looking to gain hands-on experience in healthcare where I can contribute positively while building the skills needed for my future medical career.
