Episode 5: Platform2 Connect Day
Today was the day that all participants in the Autumn Platform2 programme that live in Central UK met each other for the first time prior to departure. I have to say I was quite apprehensive as its these people that I will be living and working with for the next 3 months. To my pleasant surprise everyone seems very down to earth and shared similar interest to myself.
We gather in the jewellery quarter in Birmingham where we spent the day learning more about safety, risks and other issues that may affect us while were on placement. There was the opportunity to meet with past Platform2 members who were more then happy to answer all the burning questions that we all had. We were given a lot of information and it was a lot to take in, the information regarding the project that Im heading too seems extremely useful as does the medical kit.
There is less then a month till we all head off to out destination countries and this is both really exciting and yet Im starting to get that sick feeling like I have an waiting Injection!
