Data Analyst Review

I use data collected from our internal systems to identify trends and help patient flow. I present the data at weekly meetings to each division, explain what the data is saying and discuss what may be causing the trends. I am also supporting the project to digitalise the data we collect by creating interim measures that the Trust can use to help support the transition period and identify what information is needed and how we currently collect it.

The programme was well structured and clear but when I deviated from the plan it was difficult to get any meaningful alternative from the course provider. For example one section was on a skill i already used regularly and the additional work was just to repeat the work we had done earlier in the module, when i asked for some alternative work to do there wasn't any alternative despite being told at the intro meeting that they would be able to provide alternative work if needed.

My employer was very supportive and gave me time to complete the modules during my work time and my line manager always supported me and asked how i was getting on with the course.

I had regular meetings with the training providers, i didn't need any additional support whilst completing the portfolio.

I think the qualification has helped me by giving me more confidence in explaining data and being able to link up one set of information with another and explain the connections. The techniques I learnt on the course have made me more efficient and enabled me to work on more complex data sets.

Yes

There is a lot of opportunity to learn and progress and although it is a big organization they still do a lot to make sure everyone can be involved in any social events they provide
