Once I finish my apprenticeship I plan to take on more complex equipment training. Looking at getting trained on repairing some of the higher risk equipment and learning as much as I can.
At some point in the next few years, I would also like to consider doing some sort of degree, possibly back through the apprenticeship route through the Trust.
In the future I would love to be team leader or manager of medical engineering.
It’s a very interesting side to engineering I would never have thought of before. No two days are the same and there is such a variety of equipment we work on that there is something for everyone whether you’re more electrically or mechanically minded. It is a very rewarding job as the work we do benefits patients and aids them in their recovery.
An apprenticeship is a really great way of getting your foot in the door. It allows you to learn all the hands-on training while still backing it up with written knowledge, all while being paid. I’ve found it also allows me to network with professionals in the industry who are always reaching out, offering support to help me excel in my career.
