Germain Ani

Curious, adaptable and people-focused, with experience spanning clinical practice, healthcare, research, customer service environments i.e. retail, and professional development. My background has given me the opportunity to work closely with patients, research participants and multidisciplinary teams, while developing a practical understanding of how communication, evidence and attention to detail can shape people’s experiences and outcomes. Alongside extensive clinical experience, I was chosen for a competitive and selective NIHR undergraduate research internship, gaining hands-on experience in healthcare research, evidence appraisal, participant engagement and research ethics, alongside exposure to the wider research community.

I am comfortable navigating clinical and digital systems, including Cerner, and bring together clinical awareness, analytical thinking, versatility and strong interpersonal skills. I approach new environments with inquisitiveness and professionalism, learn quickly, and take pride in doing things thoughtfully, accurately and with care.
