Work History
Volunteer at Care Home
Embracing Age
Teddington
01.2024 - Current
- Engaged residents with games, music and conversation
- Volunteering at a care home has enabled me to adapt to changing circumstances and maintain a positive attitude in challenging situations.
- Many residents have dementia and difficulty expressing their thoughts which means I have learnt patience and articulating clearly is essential in communication.
- From working with elderly, it has proven rewarding, allowing me to recognise that most patients and vulnerable are elderly. Meaning excellent communication skills are essential in fields of healthcare
- Had a dementia training course with Embracing Age in preparation
Work experience at Kingston Hospital
Kingston Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
Kingston
10.2023 - 10.2023
- During this day work experience I had the opportunity to shadow allied health professionals such as radiographers and physiotherapists.
- It enabled me to gain a wider understanding of the fields in healthcare that form a giant team in the NHS and healthcare as a whole.
- Gaining valuable experience of a hospital setting gave me a greater passion to work towards a career in medicine
