I have worked with many people and organisations that manage the coordination of services and I know this is not an easy task to manage, however, Sue is just built differently and still does it with a smile on her face, which I have not seen before and is a first for me haha. she has an amazing commitment to her role and team and works all the hours this universe sends to ensure everything continues to run smoothly for patients and clinical staff (amazing)" Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and New Year. In this blog, I will be reflecting on what I have been up to in November and December... As 2024 drew to a close, November and December marked two of the busiest and most rewarding months in my journey as a content creator apprentice. From producing podcasts to designing impactful campaigns, each day brought new challenges and opportunities to grow. November November kicked off with a focus on podcast production, a significant part of my workload during these months. I worked on editing episodes, adding intros, outros, and graphics, and creating trailers to generate excitement. It was rewarding to see these projects evolve, from initial planning to polished episodes ready for release. I collaborated with team members to refine content and ensure every detail aligned with our professional standards. Managing these tasks alongside filming and organising feedback sessions highlighted the importance of time management and attention to detail. Awareness campaigns were another major focus. November saw the creation of content for Anti-Bullying Week , Purple Tuesday , and Remembrance Day , ensuring we addressed important issues with thoughtful, engaging posts. I also took the lead in designing and branding the HART newsletter. This involved formatting content, adding visuals, and collaborating with colleagues to produce a polished final product. Alongside this, I covered the Stepping Stone Awards , capturing photos and videos to highlight the event’s successes. Balancing creativity with administrative duties, I stayed on top of emails, meetings, and task organisation to ensure every project was completed on time. November was an incredible month for recognition in my apprenticeship journey. I was honoured to be nominated for two prestigious awards. First, I attended the Manchester Young Talent Awards , where I was shortlisted among other talented individuals. Although I didn’t win, the experience was inspiring and provided an opportunity to connect with other professionals in my field. Later that month, I had the privilege of attending the Rochdale Business Awards , where I was thrilled to be named Apprentice of the Year ! Winning this award was a proud moment that reinforced my dedication and hard work over the past year. December In December, the festive season brought a mix of creativity and collaboration. I helped with Christmas decorations, created engaging content like a Christmas Jumper Day poster , and scheduled holiday-themed posts to keep our social media channels vibrant and festive. Meanwhile, the podcast journey continued, with the release of episodes 2 and 3 and preparations for episode 4. Resizing files for YouTube uploads and fine-tuning edits to meet professional standards presented challenges, but it was rewarding to see a positive response from our audience. I also worked on health-related campaigns, including Stop Smoking  and Foot Awareness posters for HART , creating impactful content to reach our audience over the holiday period. Capturing and editing footage from Lori’s diabetes workshop further developed my technical skills, while designing campaign briefs and submitting self-study logs honed my organisational abilities. Throughout these months, I gained valuable skills in advanced editing, content strategy, and project management. I balanced creative tasks like designing posters and videos with administrative responsibilities such as preparing campaign plans and completing reports. Collaboration with colleagues and external partners helped me refine my communication skills and enhanced the overall quality of our projects. As I reflect on these months, I am proud of how far I’ve come in my apprenticeship. Managing multiple deadlines, producing creative content, and contributing to impactful campaigns have all been the highlights of my journey. Looking ahead to 2025, I am excited to continue developing my skills, building my portfolio, and taking on new challenges. Thank you for following along with my journey I can’t wait to see what the next chapter brings in 2025! Watch our new Diabetes podcast series and don't forget to like, comment & subscribe!

Here are some positive traits that are associated with ADHD... If you have ADHD, you’ve probably faced your fair share of challenges, but did you know it also comes with some incredible strengths? From moments of intense focus to bursts of creativity, ADHD can equip you with unique abilities that many people don’t have. Let’s explore some of these superpowers and how they can help you thrive. Hyper-focus: Your Secret Weapon Have you ever noticed that once you get into something, hours can pass by in what feels like minutes? That’s hyper-focus, and it’s one of the most powerful tools you have. Many scientists, artists, and creators with ADHD have built successful careers because they can become fully absorbed in their work. When you find something you’re passionate about, this ability to focus intensely can lead you to do truly remarkable things. Resilience: Your Strength in the Struggle Let’s be real, dealing with ADHD isn’t always a walk in the park. You’ve probably felt frustrated or wondered why some things seem harder than they should be. But here’s the thing you don’t give up. You keep going, learning from setbacks and finding new ways to push through. That kind of resilience is a strength many people admire. Every time you rise above challenges, you’re building a stronger, more capable version of yourself. Pressure: Where You Shine Do you find yourself getting more done when the clock’s ticking or a deadline is approaching? That’s because many people with ADHD work best under pressure. Without that urgency, it can be hard to focus or make decisions. But when time’s running out, your brain kicks into high gear, and you produce amazing work. It’s like a superpower waiting for the right moment to activate. Humour: Bringing Laughter Everywhere You Go If you have ADHD, chances are you’ve got a great sense of humour. Whether you’re the one cracking jokes or just finding the funny side of everyday situations, humour seems to come naturally. That’s why you’ll often find people with ADHD in comedy, using their quick wit and unique perspective to bring laughter to others. Life might have its tough moments, but finding joy and laughter is something you’re great at. Creativity: Your Natural Outlet People with ADHD often feel drawn to creative outlets because it helps quiet the mind. Whether it’s painting, playing music, writing, or even baking, these activities help bring a sense of calm. When you immerse yourself in creativity, you’re not just expressing yourself you’re entering a zone where you can focus and feel at peace. And when you tap into that hyper-focus, your creativity can lead to truly amazing results. Remember, having ADHD isn’t just about managing challenges; it’s about unlocking the incredible strengths that come with it. You’ve got talents that can set you apart and help you excel. Embrace those superpowers and let them work for you!
