00:00:05.105 --> 00:00:06.125
My name is Alina.

2
00:00:06.425 --> 00:00:08.445
Um, I'm a specialist biomedical scientist.

3
00:00:08.605 --> 00:00:11.405
I work in the chemistry and hematology labs in the NHS.

4
00:00:12.025 --> 00:00:14.925
Um, I'm doing a part-Time Masters in Public Health

5
00:00:14.985 --> 00:00:16.005
at Warwick Medical School.

6
00:00:20.005 --> 00:00:21.965
I think I really wanted to make a difference.

7
00:00:22.265 --> 00:00:24.525
Um, I'm really lucky that I get to work in the NHS

8
00:00:24.705 --> 00:00:26.845
and I started working during the pandemic

9
00:00:27.265 --> 00:00:30.045
and I really saw a lot of the problems with healthcare,

10
00:00:30.115 --> 00:00:32.445
including, um, lack of PPE

11
00:00:32.625 --> 00:00:36.445
and understanding how healthcare providers do kind of suffer

12
00:00:36.595 --> 00:00:39.205
with some of the decisions that are made.

13
00:00:39.425 --> 00:00:41.005
And I wanted to also understand the

14
00:00:41.005 --> 00:00:42.285
demographics of public health.

15
00:00:46.185 --> 00:00:48.365
Um, so my favorite module was Global Health.

16
00:00:48.705 --> 00:00:50.525
Um, we worked with, uh, like a range

17
00:00:50.525 --> 00:00:52.285
of different students from really diverse

18
00:00:52.285 --> 00:00:53.405
backgrounds and different courses.

19
00:00:53.765 --> 00:00:55.285
I think one of the courses we worked

20
00:00:55.285 --> 00:00:57.805
with global sustainability, um,

21
00:00:57.985 --> 00:00:59.885
and we looked at how there are different healthcare

22
00:00:59.885 --> 00:01:02.045
problems, not only in Britain but around the world.

23
00:01:05.465 --> 00:01:07.525
So I really want a career in helping people

24
00:01:07.585 --> 00:01:08.605
and making a difference

25
00:01:08.745 --> 00:01:12.765
and looking at how gender, ethnicity, um,

26
00:01:13.265 --> 00:01:15.405
and culture plays an impact in healthcare.

27
00:01:15.905 --> 00:01:17.445
And that's where my true passion is.

28
00:01:21.265 --> 00:01:24.525
So I want to finish my master's, uh, finish my dissertation,

29
00:01:24.525 --> 00:01:28.005
which is hopefully gonna be in mental wellbeing in the NHS

30
00:01:28.305 --> 00:01:29.565
and the service providers.

31
00:01:29.825 --> 00:01:31.645
And then once I've done that, I'd like to be able

32
00:01:31.645 --> 00:01:35.805
to do a PhD or work towards a career in public health.

33
00:01:39.625 --> 00:01:42.325
So the advice I'd give anyone considering, um,

34
00:01:42.505 --> 00:01:44.925
the Master's in Public Health at Warwick Medical School.

35
00:01:45.625 --> 00:01:48.525
Um, so the course is really brilliantly structured.

36
00:01:48.525 --> 00:01:51.125
It's in two different sections, is an A and a B.

37
00:01:51.225 --> 00:01:52.685
So you can pick what's really best

38
00:01:52.685 --> 00:01:53.965
for you if you're part-time,

39
00:01:54.225 --> 00:01:56.165
and if you're full-time, there's a range

40
00:01:56.165 --> 00:01:57.685
of modules that you also choose.

41
00:01:58.065 --> 00:02:00.205
Um, the course leaders really, really nice.

42
00:02:00.505 --> 00:02:02.725
Um, they're very friendly and approachable

43
00:02:02.725 --> 00:02:05.005
and you can talk to them about lots of different projects

44
00:02:05.065 --> 00:02:06.085
and ideas that you have.

45
00:02:06.385 --> 00:02:09.045
And essentially, it's a great way to just fuel your passion

46
00:02:09.105 --> 00:02:09.845
for public health.
