Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

Since moving Trusts from OUH to GWH I have recieved a lot more support from line manager and apprenticeship team.

Definitely has made a difference, I am able to link the course in with my work and think differently about my actions and actions as a department.
