Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Managing a training programme for trainee doctors at ESNEFT, including their weekly teaching schedules, the regional teaching we host (29 sessions this year managed by me), and monitoring their portfolios for their end of year appraisals. I manage this for approx 200 trainee doctors.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I enjoy it a lot but the Customer Services apprenticeship is geared toward retail services and could do with a healthcare variant so that it's more relevant.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Both

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
It's hard to answer this as I haven't completed any other ones to have a comparison. However, I think it's structured enough.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Fair amount.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I receive enough support, but I think it would be better if there were others on the same apprenticeship as me so that I could benefit from group activities.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
It's given me a better understanding of the type of business I am in, and how everything functions outside of my immediate workings place.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
not yet, but we are starting them
