  7. Personal Statement • Example • I am interested in Nursing as a future career • Over the past few months volunteering with the NHS at a local hospital has provided me with invaluable experience. It has helped me to develop my listening and observation skills and provided me with the opportunity to discuss any concerns with staff. Spending time with elderly patients offered such a range of caring experiences, and I was particularly aware of the challenges associated with any cognitive deficit. • My Higher Biology course involved an independent investigation project looking at stem cell treatment on neurological disorders and cancers. This required me to develop my analytical and research skills and I relished the opportunity to examine various papers relating to health.

  8. Conclusion I I feel that I have come far from the time when my interest in medicine was ignited through visiting a children's mock surgery workshop. Through career exploration, volunteering in the community and my hobbies, I believe, I have the skills which will prepare me for a career in medicine.
