Supporting information *
I have applied for this role because I am studying for a Biomedical Science degree with the
intention to go into the NHS upon completion of my degree.
I am currently in my final year which has given me great insight into various disciplines such as
haematology, cellular pathology, and biochemistry which I have found interesting and engaging,
especially the cellular pathology module.
I have experience handling databases from my previous job at the National Shielding Helpline,
where I dealt with sensitive information such as NHS numbers etc, this gave me a good
understanding of the professional environment and improved my organisational skills.
I believe I am a suitable candidate for the role as I am eager to learn and begin a career in the
NHS, the advertised role seems like the perfect opportunity for me to do so.
