London 2012 blog

Hi I’m Kathryn and I work in the Park health medical centre as the  receptionist. I arrived here at the Olympic Park in December 2007 having previously worked in construction for almost two years.

Working in the medical centre on the Park can be a challenge but very rewarding. The nursing team and I moved into the centre on Waterden Road in February. We have settled in now and we are getting busier and busier doing medicals for site workers. 
 
I have booked in a variety of people for different reasons including medicals, health checks and walk-in treatments. It feels great knowing that we are helping to keep the people working on the Olympic Park healthy. 

 
While working in reception I meet lots of people and really enjoy hearing what is happening out on site. The Olympic Park is enormous and there’s lots to see as it is changing daily. I jumped at the opportunity to be a part of  'life at the London 2012' as it meant being part of history in the making.

I love working in construction and seeing what is going on. I believe this is a great project to be a part of and seeing east London transform will be an excellent experience.
