Patrick's Internship with the School of Nursing Sciences, UEA

Overall, I found the internship experience to be interesting and quite an eye-opener. Having not been involved with the health sector in the past, I had to learn on my feet and adapt to the setting. I think the research that I'd carried out at university, in addition to the business modules I had studied, were beneficial to the initial process of analysing and strategy-building. I felt the interactions with professionals in the health sector developed my ability to build relationships in a business setting, as well as reminding me to keep an eye on time management (e.g. planning and punctuality when meeting key clients, collating information to meet deadlines).

I'd recommend the internship programme to anyone considering applying, as it's boosted my business experience and highlighted areas where I perhaps needed to hone my skills.
