I echo Anne's words. OH is a small community and where we can help we will
so don't give up, I see some subscribers have already come forward which is
fantastic. I see you have only just subscribed to jisc which you should find
helpful as it is a great resource to keep up to date with OH issues.
I wish you luck
Regards
Karen

Dear Stephanie
I can't help you with the shadowing experience but am posting to reassure
you that you are doing the right sort of things to make you attractive to a
prospective placement or employer. Have you also thought about investigating
spending time at your local hospital within their dermatology, respiratory
and audiology clinics?
I know it is disheartening but keep on trying - someone like you who has the
resolve to succeed will do in the end.
Best
Anne
