What those working in the pharmaceutical industry have to say...
The RSC scheme has helped me build confidence and expand my network, both internally at AstraZeneca and externally within the wider science community. Working towards the RSci award shows other people the integrity that I have towards the sciences; it shows I've developed multiple skills through autonomous working. It shows that I've got transferable skills within the company and also outside the company. Overall, it's very powerful and boosts my confidence. To have gone through this process and ended up on the committee is really rewarding too.
My journey into chemistry has been less traditional than some and I don’t have the same qualifications as a lot of my colleagues […] My membership with the RSC and working with them to get accredited through the Registered Science Technician (RSciTech) scheme, has been so helpful in this regard.
