I have just completed one week (July 2014) of work experience with Datatrial, a clinical trials company based in Jesmond, and have really learnt a lot as well as having a great time getting to know the team. It's the first time I have ever done work experience before and it was a big learning curve for me. If you would like to read more about it here is a link to Datatrial's blog where I wrote a post about my week:
