Summary

Successfully completed the Scientific Training Programme (STP) in Audiology, gaining the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in the field. During this time, I conducted a research dissertation on the effectiveness of alternative stimuli in paediatric hearing assessments, showcasing my dedication to clinical advancements within audiology.

Having passed the Independent Assessment of Clinical Competence (IAAC), I have begun the process of registering as a Clinical Scientist under the HCPC. I am eager to further develop expertise in adult and paediatric assessments, rehabilitation and ear care. I am seeking an organisation that values training and prioritises clinical and personal growth.
