In the fourth episode of the mini series, we talk to Mark Le Feuvre - head of Research & Development at Siemens Healthineers, a global medical technology company pioneering innovative breakthroughs in the healthcare space. With over 7 years of experience in this role, Mark lets us in on what companies like this are really looking for when recruiting, what skills you can capitalise on from your PhD, and how to land that dream job in a specialist or non-specialist role in a med-tech industry.

In the second part, we continue talking about maternity leave, why women feel replaceable in the workplace, and what practical things we can all do to help support each other.
