1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I am now 3 months into my apprenticeship with Oxford Health an thoroughly enjoying it. The on-line sessions are well planned and I am learning so much from attending them. I can not rate my assessor (Tracey) highly enough! She is supportive, patient, and helps me through each step.
