Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
I work closely with clinical and operational leaders to ensure the effective implementation of the Diagnostics Recovery Programme. This includes supporting hospital teams in the development and implementation of recovery programmes to improve their performance against the DM01 (Diagnostic Wait Times and Activity) standard - to ensure that less than 1% of patients wait more than 6 weeks for their diagnostic test.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I have been challenged and stretched outside of my comfort zone with the taught modules and the practice application in the workplace
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Enhanced Influencing skills, improved collaborative ability, Better collaboration, leveraging networks to achieve my goals, time and people management, more confident to speak up, and challenge upwards
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
The programme itself is well structured, however, access to the course materials in advance of the day's programme would have been useful, for those modules which did not provide them in advance.
Clear structured guidance on assignment expectation would be helpful (instead of the "you can either do this or that, either is fine"

How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
I was very well supported in the early stages, however, since November 2023, following a consultation exercise at work, and I had to move to a different team, the support has not been as robust. Different management styles, and level of commitment is vastly different
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Good support, and the Module leaders in Year 2 have been exemplary
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Improved problem solving skills, and better able to speak at meetings with confidence
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
There are some professional networking events, but these are not particularly geared towards apprentices specifically.
