SWOT analysis
Year 3

Strengths
Clerking – I have always enjoyed speaking to patients and I feel that clerking was a skill that I quickly adopted and felt at ease doing. Because I was quick topick up clerking skills it didn’t take me long to reduce it from 45 minutes to 35 minutes then to 20 minutes.

Opportunities
