Presentations done!

Uncategorized , , .

It’s January. I have spent a substantial amount of time in the University library. My eyes are like computer screens and I never want to look at Microsoft powerpoint again. My plan to get everything done before Christmas fell by the wayside and everything was very much lastminute.com. DON’T DO IT! Although that being said I had a really good festive period. Presentations went well for me, I think, but practice especially for the group presentations, it was really obvious who had practiced and who hadn’t when we listened to each others’. The rationale for us having so many presentations as opposed to exams lies in what we will be doing once we are qualified which, for me as a mature student, I love as my exam technique is definitely not what it once was.

Celebrations for ending the exam period were somewhat short lived as the next day we were back into Health Policy lectures and we also have an interprofessional learning day with speech and language therapy. The key to health courses is interprofessional working. NHS trusts are hot on it and it makes up a large proportion of our placement portfolio work. Potential employers love to hear the term so any chance you get to attend an event or lecture is important to take it up; as we’re learning in our final year it looks good on your personal statement and these small things all go towards being more employable than your peers at the end of the year.

Lecturers have all started asking us if we are applying for jobs and although I always had the intention of getting into the race early, all of our other work still needs to be done and job applications seem to be getting pushed down an ever increasing list. Again it would appear time management is crucial! With all that said, I have done something pretty exciting this month…. I booked my flights for my elective placement down under, so come the end of May I will be in Australia for 5 weeks!! Woohoo! This is something I have been talking about since my 1st year so getting that booked makes graduating seem that much closer! So with that in mind my to do list for this week involves drafting some kind of personal statement for job applications. Watch this space for some handy hints as hopefully by my next blog post I will have completed a few applications and will have a better idea of what to include in a personal statement!
