An internship at Action on Sugar and Consensus Action on Salt and Health organisations as part of the Wolfson Institute of Preventative Medicine in 2017 reinforced my interest in public health. My tasks during my internship were to work with a team of nutritionists; work on an independent project regarding sugar content among desserts served in restaurants and attend seminars on current nutrient topics. I also had the opportunity to work with the NICE guidelines regarding obesity, which tied in well with my public health module at university.
