After graduating, I was looking at my options and looking at an absolute variety of graduate schemes that exist out there.

There are certain loads within the private sector,

and they are a great fit for some people, but for me they just felt a bit generic sometimes and just didn't give the same sort of personality and values that I was looking for in a scheme.

So first of all, I was drawn to the NHS England scheme and as good as it sounded, it fit in with my values and it was a chance to progress within NHS, which was something I wanted.

There were aspects of, I think, the size of it, that put me off slightly the size of the cohort. So when I found the NHS Scotland Training Scheme, that just felt like the perfect fit.

It was the first time I dread a graduate scheme and thought, yes, this is what I want.

This is the right opportunities, the right length, the right masters that'll tie in and a small enough cohort that you'll get really good experience in within a really good group.

And it just felt like the right fit.
