Chartered Manager – Health and Social Care Degree Apprentice Case Studies

I have been told throughout the course from peers and colleagues that I have grown as a manager and that my approach to management has changed. I’ve learnt to adjust my techniques and take on new management styles that best suit me and my team. 

A degree apprenticeship gives you an opportunity to do something for yourself, not just as a parent, but as an individual. It’s something I never thought I could access. It’s made me see that nothing’s written in stone, you can always change career, or change course, at any age.

This Degree Apprenticeship has enabled me to present my project at WONCA Europe Conference 2023. I am also working towards getting my project published in SAGE journals. If it wasn’t for this programme I would not be where I am now.  

The programme has been very challenging, but I’ve been able to put into practice the leadership theories and tools that we have been studying to push myself out of my comfort zones. As a result, I’ve been successful in securing a promotion.  

My apprenticeship has given me so much more than I was expecting in terms of new learning and it is perfect for me at this stage of my career. I feel more confident in my own ability to lead and manage. I really believe my team and the organisation are benefiting too.

The Apprenticeship has made me more confident in leading on EDI in my workplace and identify where policies and procedures could be improved to be more inclusive.
