In this blog post, Dr Hannah McGivern, a Tissue Handling Technician for the Quality in Organ Donation (QUOD) initiative at NDS, discusses her involvement in the NDS Virtual Work Experience Programme, and shares how fascinating and rewarding it was to talk with the students about a career in research.

What I'll take away from the work experience week: Try not to make any early rash decisions, keep options open, being a clinician is difficult but rewarding, and research and 'doctoring' aren't completely separate.
