I mostly work with the radio chemistry team and there are six of us. I think it’s great because as an apprentice all the people are at different stages in their careers, and they all specialise in something different, so I get exposure to a range of fields and techniques. They are so supportive and there is no better way of learning than from people at the top of their field - it’s inspiring.

I get to work on so many exciting projects it’s mind-blowing! I think the thing I am most proud of to date though is the work I’m doing with a team who are developing a new, more efficient and effective way of detecting breast cancer using ultrasound - which is a lot less painful for patients than other methods. They needed volunteers for the first stages of human trials, and I was one of them. They later gave a presentation which showed all the data from their findings, and I could see the point on the graph that was me!

My apprenticeship finishes soon and I’m going to apply for the role I’m currently working in. I would like to stay working here for a few years. I want to be organising or running some sort of measurement work or research work that makes a difference.
