  • The Apprentice Diaries: Month 13

    As I reach the milestone of 13 months into my content creator apprenticeship, October feels like a perfect month to reflect on how far I’ve come. Over the past year, I’ve developed a range of skills that now allow me to tackle everything from social media campaigns and recruitment posts to video editing and wellness initiatives. This month especially highlighted just how varied and rewarding my role has become. Here’s a week-by-week look at some of the work that filled my October and contributed to my growth. Week 1: Building Foundations and Creating Templates Starting the month strong, I dove into organisation and planning, opening each day with a round of emails and scheduling. I filled out forms, connected with collaborators, and created job templates for recruitment posts. Alongside these tasks, I developed a Wellness Wednesday post, worked on transcriptions for recruitment case studies, and joined an RHA Away Day to capture photos and videos. Documenting events like this taught me how to capture engaging content in real time, a skill that comes in handy when managing dynamic social media feeds. Week 2: Raising Awareness and Community Engagement Week two brought more opportunities to engage with awareness campaigns, especially for ADHD Awareness Day. I spent time researching and creating content to ensure the posts were both informative and relatable. Later, I visited Petrus to share donation updates on social media, filming and editing the event’s highlights for platforms like TikTok, Facebook and Instagram. This week also involved someone coming from Rochdale Business Awards to film me for the awards, I had to showcase my work in the clips and do a few poses, which was surprisingly fun. On Thursday, I filmed my very first episode of our diabetes podcast!! It was very nerve-wracking, but we got there. After all the planning and arranging dates back and forth emailing, I finally started to make progress on this. Following up on Friday, I spent the day at Middleton PCN Hub for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, where they raised money for a breast cancer charity. It was. a great opportunity for me to capture a lot of content. Week 3: Podcast Planning and Content for Breast Cancer Awareness My focus shifted to podcast production in week three, where I worked on planning and editing podcast footage due to filming our second episode of the podcast but unfortunately been set back due to audio quality, I arranged a reshoot and used the opportunity to improve the content and refine my editing skills. I also focused on breast cancer awareness, creating a video that highlighted the importance of self-examination on your breast, which I shared across platforms. I wrote out a blog for ADHD Awareness Month and shared it on our social media, and throughout this week, I was networking and communicating with potential guests on future episodes for the diabetes podcast, which was very refreshing as it was a big step out of my comfort zone. This week taught me a lot about troubleshooting and adaptability, both critical in the fast-paced world of content creation. Week 4: Celebrations and Final Touches The last week of October was all about focusing on the diabetes podcast but still creating refreshing content for our social media. Lori, who was a guest on my podcast, sent me some information on diabetes that helped me so much with understanding the effects of diabetes, as I and Lori have been communicating through email, she has been a fantastic help with her network and the people she knows that could help with my project. So, I have been ringing and emailing more new potential guests yet again, stepping out of my comfort zone... check me out! I also received an email from Mary with the final additions to our booklet "What RHA Does Your Practice and Primary Care Networks" Finally, I finished this booklet, put it in a booklet format and printed it out ready for her to review. In the middle of the week, I started by celebrating community and cultural events. I created Halloween and Diwali posts and planned social media layouts for the rest of the month. I also completed a longer edit of the self-breast examination video with Dr Nowrin for YouTube By the end of the week, I completed a blog for Middleton PCN Hub and continued editing my podcast. October was a busy but fulfilling month, where each task felt like a new layer added to my experience. Whether creating awareness posts, engaging with the community, or capturing content for health and wellness campaigns, I see my confidence and expertise growing in every area. Here’s to building on this momentum in the months ahead and continuing to create content that informs, engages, and makes a positive impact!

  • October Breast Cancer Awareness Month: How Middleton PCN Hub Made a Difference

    This October, Middleton PCN Hub dedicated its efforts to raising awareness about breast cancer, creating impactful moments for patients and staff alike. From informative workshops to hands-on demonstrations, here’s how we helped spread awareness and foster a supportive environment in our community. Breast Cancer Screening Awareness Day: A Day to Remember On Friday, October 18th, we hosted our Breast Cancer Screening Awareness Day at the hub, which was an inspiring day filled with learning and community spirit. Dr. Nowrin from Woodside Medical Centre joined us to deliver an insightful demonstration, showing both patients and staff how to check their breasts for potential signs of breast cancer. This valuable knowledge empowers everyone to be proactive about their health, reminding us of the importance of early detection. To enhance the experience, we offered complimentary hand massages throughout the day, giving visitors a chance to unwind while they absorbed information. These moments of relaxation served as a gentle reminder of the importance of self-care as part of overall health. Pedalling for a Cause: Our Journey to Snowdonia (and Beyond) For an extra touch of fun and fitness, we set up an exercise bike for staff to tackle a virtual journey from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. By the end of the day, we collectively “travelled” 170 kilometres – the equivalent of a round-trip from Middleton to Snowdonia, then up and back down the mountain! We even had 3 kilometres left over, which we jokingly dedicated as the final walk to the local pub. Our pedal-powered journey wasn’t just about the distance; it was also for a cause. We managed to raise £285.23, which will go towards supporting breast cancer initiatives. We couldn’t be prouder of the staff’s enthusiasm and commitment! Broadening Our Horizons: The Pulse Event This October, our management team attended the Pulse event, participating in a series of fascinating workshops. These sessions provided invaluable insights and fresh perspectives, equipping us with ideas we’re excited to bring back to Middleton. The knowledge gained will undoubtedly enhance the services we provide, aligning with our mission to deliver top-notch care to our community. Looking Ahead: Embracing the Living Well Model As we look toward the future, we’re thrilled to announce that we will soon be implementing the Living Well Model in Middleton. This initiative aims to expand our mental health support offerings, allowing us to serve our community’s needs even more effectively. We anticipate launching this model in early November, which will create a more holistic approach to well-being within the community. October was truly a month of awareness, learning, and growth here at Middleton PCN Hub. From raising funds and spirits to gaining valuable insights, we’ve set the stage for meaningful changes in our community. Here’s to continuing our journey of wellness, one initiative at a time!  #PCNHub #MiddletonPCNHub #BreastCancerAwareness

  • The Superpowers of ADHD: Harnessing Hyperfocus, Creativity, and More

    Here are some amazing 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. Hyperfocus: Your Secret Weapon Have you ever noticed that once you get into something, hours can pass by in what feels like minutes? That’s hyperfocus, 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 hyperfocus, 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!
