      It can be difficult in that I work with some very complex systems which require a lot of thinking and research to figure things out, solve problems and work out the best way to deliver a project, fix something or design a series of experiments to provide data to answer a question. But I enjoy the process of learning something new and using that new knowledge so, although it can be difficult and hard work, I find it very satisfying so it’s worth the effort!

      This is a good question! Some elements of my job as a pharmacist are hard and for good reason, e.g. checking a prescription to ensure that it is safe for a patient, but it is mostly enjoyable for me. In terms of my other roles, I find them to be mainly rewarding and fun (teaching at King’s, training PT clients, studying at UCL) rather than difficult. For me, I try to take the challenges with the triumphs and think that everything happens in phases and it will all pass!
