"The placement offered an opportunity to work on a development that was outside my usual scope of practice. It provided me with an insight into the many roles that are out there that I was not aware of previously."
"The Senior Leadership Programme provided me with a good opportunity to take off my ‘delivery’ hat and put my ‘pragmatic system leader’ hat on."
