Contributing to the pre-clinical and clinical drug testing work of Labcorp Drug Development through DNA/RNA analysis.

Working in the A&E department of both Leeds General Infirmary and St. James’ Hospital, testing nasopharyngeal swabs from patients for SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A/B, and RSV using RT-PCR. Swab results would be communicated with the different A&E wards and samples would be passed along to the pathology lab for further processing. I developed data handling skills and was trusted with the handling of sensitive patient information. Occasionally, I also performed the swabs themselves on patients around the different wards.

Worked on the shop floor, providing a high standard of customer service and stock management. I maintained the stock of the alcohol department and cooperated with security to tackle theft in this area. I also rotated and replenished stock across all areas of the shop floor, communicating with colleagues and superiors efficiently.
