The Apprentice Diaries: Month 10

Here is a brief recap of this month as a content creator apprentice...

Week 1 (1st - 5th July):

The month kicked off with a whirlwind of activities. Monday involved printing NHS local service booklets, preparing materials for a Manchester library event, and completing mandatory training via Blue Stream. I also finished and posted my apprentice blog, shared the remaining award winners on Instagram, and edited the Peterloo video. Tuesday was all about the Manchester event, where I captured videos and photos, raising awareness through social media posts. On Wednesday, I finalised and shared my apprentice blog, created a Wellness Wednesday feature, and attended an EPA session. Thursday was dedicated to editing and posting footage from the Manchester Central Library jobs fair. The week wrapped up on Friday with a busy day assisting Mary and Zoe at an event in Rochdale Exchange with Hopwood college students gaining work experience, taking photos and videos, beginning a Meta course on website management, and completing it by the end of the day.




Week 2 (8th - 12th July):

Monday was a day of editing and posting Peterloo videos, including one featuring Sue-Ann. I also emailed Jenna about Owadi who started from our pre-employment programme and has now successfully secured a role in a GP practice, I planned interview questions and had a 121 meeting with Ruth. I then checked the responses from the survey I made for Hopwood students despite not receiving feedback from NHS app students, I made progress by discussing website linking with Our Rochdale and received some feedback due to my planning on adding our campaigns on our website. On Tuesday, I received and posted Race for Life photos, wrote and promoted a blog about the event, completed an evaluation campaign template, and created a database on Wix for practice designing the website, I also started to prepare for the next day's training at Carder Court. Wednesday featured a Wellness Wednesday post and a training session at Carders Court teaching a social media session and getting the students involved in creativity and an insight into my role it was an interactive session that the students seemed to enjoy, I captured videos, and took photos. The week concluded with Friday's tasks, which included posting about the school careers fair attended by Ruth and Rachel, planning a podcast and case study questions, and working on Bud’s tasks such as my end point assessment and portfolio.


Week 3 (15th - 19th July):

Monday began with checking emails and planning content for the week. I started creating a post about services RHA provides, edited and posted about Springhill Hospice education, and worked on editing Peterloo videos for Instagram reels and TikTok templates. I also created a "Meet the Team" template for Helen. Tuesday was another productive day with an EPA (End Point Assessment) session in the morning, followed by more Peterloo video editing and a discussion with Mary about a booklet ‘ What does RHA do for your Practice’ I started by researching and designing the booklet. On Wednesday, I posted a "Meet the Team" feature, researched pharmacy first information, started creating an animated pharmacy first video, reviewed footage from the interview with Sadhana, and continued working on the booklet. Thursday was focused on adding content to the "Services RHA Provides" post, editing the pharmacy’s first video, and making progress on the booklet. The week ended with Friday's tasks of editing and posting Peterloo videos, working on my portfolio, and continuing to print the booklet and analysing to see if there are any changed that need to be made.


Week 4 (22nd - 26th July):

The week started with a 121 meeting with Ruth on Monday, followed by finalising and emailing Mary about changes to the booklet. I finished and posted the "What Does RHA Offer" post, planned content for the week, researched Wellness Wednesday ideas, and started creating the Wellness Wednesday post. Thursday was dedicated to researching content for the upcoming week, including awareness days and National Schizophrenia Awareness Day 2024. I created a Hepatitis awareness post, added awareness days to the calendar, and started to plan an interactive post to engage the public about primary care and Rochdale Health Alliance. I also worked on a disabled free travel pass that would relate to the service we provide for work experience students and wrote up and posted the National Schizophrenia Awareness Day 2024 blog. On Friday I got started on my apprentice blog as this month is now coming to an end, I continued with my bud task and created a storyboard for a video I had created and wrote a report to then later on submit.


July has been a month of growth, learning, and creative output. I’m excited to continue developing my skills and contributing to impactful projects in the coming months. It is a challenge balancing apprenticeship assessments and work tasks but it’s important to remain focused and always plan, make a to-do list to tick off your tasks, and you will then start to see your progress. Stay tuned for more updates!
