My role
My role is hugely exciting and fast-paced, and no two days are ever the same! From the very beginning, I was invited to join key meetings and to contribute ideas.
The role
On a day-to-day basis I conduct interviews with patients, deliver presentations to clients and work across several disease areas. Regular training has allowed me to build my knowledge of the healthcare industry and to develop my professional skills, such as my ability to pitch and present confidently.
Best bits
I felt so welcomed by everyone right from the start. Adelphi offers a supportive environment and a strong sense of teamwork. Despite working from home throughout the pandemic, I felt really connected to everyone in the organisation, through the regular virtual socials and competitions such as our bake off and pumpkin-carving competitions.
