About Me

Hello! Welcome to my blog! I am currently on a 12 month work placement with the NHS as part of my Business Studies Degree at Sheffield Hallam University. I am working at the Eastern Cheshire Clinical Commissioning Group(ECCCG) as the Transformation Programme Support Officer. As part of my role I will be working alongside the Strategy and Transformation team at the Clinical Commissioning Group(CCG), who are working towards joining up care for the local population through the Caring Together Programme.

My first month being a placement student at the CCG

3rd-7th August 2015

This week marked my first month at the ECCCG and I cannot believe how fast the time has gone already! I have learnt so much in just the short space of time I have been here.

At the beginning of this week I attended the Care Professionals Group meeting (CPG) with my line manager. GPs, clinicians and members of staff at the CCG attend this meeting and discuss relevant topics regarding the Caring Together programme. The areas this meeting covered were relating to; The Integrated Care Dashboard, an update was given on the Community Based Co-ordinated Care (CBCC) specification and the Clinical Accountability Framework.

Also this week I had another 1:1 meeting with my manager and we went through the format of the NHS Personal Development Review(PDR) Appraisal which is required to be completed as part of monitoring my progress whilst on my placement with the CCG and also it outlines some objectives which I should achieve. In addition we discussed and went through my key responsibilities within the transformation team and many projects were outlined that I can get involved with which all sound very interesting!    

Towards the end of the week as part of my introductions to the teams at the CCG I had meetings with members of the Contracts Team and the Clinical Team. This was really helpful for me to get a wider picture of the roles and responsibilities of each team and also how they link together within the CCG.

Finally, this week a new member of staff joined the CCG as another Student Placement, Katie Hall, who will be working within the Business and Commissioning Team. It will be really good to be able to link in with her during my time at the CCG and possibly work on projects together which is really exciting!
