I’m responsible for two of our health informatics services: training and products. The training team delivers clinical IT training and support to 5000 acute trust staff and more than 1000 staff working in GP practices and community settings, so there’s a lot to keep track of!
I look after the health informatics apprentices too and have regular meetings with the apprentices and their managers. I support the apprentices to apply for jobs and prepare for interviews. I also process requests for work experience placements and work with managers to create work placement programmes.
I start my day checking what meetings I have in the diary and that necessary actions have been completed. I can receive up to 100 emails a day so a large part of my day is spent dealing with them. I have two team leaders who report to me so I have calls or meetings with them to check on issues and get an update on the projects their teams are delivering.
