Madeley, England, United Kingdom

Working at Madeley Surgery was extremely helpful in allowing me to develop my skills in a fast-paced workplace environment. With my key responsibilities including data entry onto a patients medical record and general administrative duties within the office, I learnt data management and how to file effectively. I am eager to see how I can transfer this knowledge into my future career in the heritage sector. I learned how to navigate a variety of applications and my IT skills improved dramatically during my time working at the surgery. Since a large portion of my job was working with medical records, I learned the importance of both confidentiality and concentration. Despite some of the work being repetitive, it was essential when entering data that it was done accurately. Through this, I learned how to handle and embrace responsibility, whilst benefitting from the close-knit community at Madeley Practice.
