Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I work in the clinical governance department for doctors in NHSP as an apprentice. I speak regularly with doctors regarding their revalidations and appraisals. I notify them of upcoming revalidations and check through their documents. I also arrange calls with doctors to talk them through the revalidation and appraisal processes. I also look at the number of doctors connecting to NHSP and instruct them of how to connect to NHSP and once they connect I send them their welcome email and ask them to complete forms and return them to me so I can input their appraisal dates and on our system.

Yes there are professional networking events such as 'meet someone new over a coffee' this allows one to meet somebody across the organisation but remotely from home - which is a great activity during the pandemic when people feel isolated.

Do not worry if you are not the best with using certain programmes such as Excel as you learn things that you aren't so familiar with on the job within the first few weeks in the job - training is always provided and is always welcomed.
