Jack Hawken

Medical Scientist

I enrolled with The Open University to study for a BSc in Health Sciences after deciding upon a career change, enjoying the academic and scientific aspects of healthcare. I undertook an MSc in Biomedical Science at The University of Chester where I was active in the Student Union and oversaw a student-led community outreach programme. While looking for a way to combine my scientific interests and desire to help people I came across Pharmora, and thought it sounded perfect.
After starting I was immediately put to work on projects alongside experienced mentors and medics who helped guide me. From the start there is heavy emphasis of ongoing training, for example; sharing knowledge on the particulars of specific projects, to how we conduct quality control on all work prior to sending it out to clients.
