      Hi Niamh,
      No not really – I am a researcher, so when anything goes wrong it is usually only me that it effects!

      Sometimes we have to write patient reports following hospital tests which contain bad news. These reports go back to the patients doctor however and they are the ones who discuss the results with the patients not us.

      Sometimes when i work in a team, I have to be honest and tell things as they are, which could be bad news. However, this does not disappoint me or others. On the contrary, it is becomes exciting to look for alternatives

      To my supervisor when things aren’t working, but normally it seems bad to me but they seem fine with it. I guess we all have different interpretations of bad.
