I am keen to work in healthcare and the DDDH course was an exciting opportunity to apply my Engineering Bachelor's degree to an emerging area of technology that gives me the skills and potential to make a difference in this area. Through the course I have had the opportunity to go to conferences and connect with local NHS staff, this has helped me build my network and feel prepared to enter the workplace after graduation.
