Placement Blog: Day One

Today is my first day on placement; I arrived at 0930 as requested. The first thing that was required was that I learned what Commssonsult was all about as a company, and what work we would be doing. To help me learn I have been asked to look at is a research study on maternity in Nepal. This case study has already been written, but Dr Andrew (communications Manager) has asked me to go over it again and write my own version. Working on it will provide me with insight into the types of work that I will be given here, and experience in writing the house style.

This is the dialogue blog that I will be working towards.

And this is the R4D – Research For Development site where the study research is situated.
