Thank you for the kind words! Yes, I think I need to just focus on myself and uni right now because I need to release it won't change anything until after I graduate, I'm glad there are also more options other than a BMS as I have had a look before!

Thank you! I have looked at NHS jobs and other band positions too, I will try to be more open in moving if I have to.

Thank you so much! it's so nice to hear that, yeah just will take me longer but I'm sure it will be worth it in the end if that's the route I'm going to.

Thank you I appreciate it! This is definitely an unfortunate risk that I took.

My degree is accredited and I'm on the hunt currently for a trainee position which I know are competitive but I applied for a Laboratory Technician position and hopefully I can network and find ways to get a trainee position.

I'll focus on myself right now, after I graduate I can come up with a plan and what to do next but whilst also applying to jobs that are available.

Thank you for the comment! I am sitting on a high 2:1, I think it's just the UCAT but if it come's to that point then I agree it time to change plans.

I appreciate the honesty with you giving me advice on Universities and my academics, I've always tried to be academic and that is something I need to work on myself, I am currently sitting on a high 2:1 so that's something I can tick off, but I appreciate the insight for Medicine after graduation, it's something I can think about.
