The 2nd day was a training course located in Wakefield Cedar Court Hotel on the 10th September 2008; it would last from 10am till 4.30pm.
I was the first to arrive there and I met some of my colleagues that were going to be present there too. We talked some of them are from universities located round the west Yorkshire region and it was nice to have other work placement student there too.
The event that took place was on social Media training the purpose of this was to give an introduction to the comms team and how the use of media likes of Youtube, Facebook and Wiki that has boosted the media industry and how it is being used to deliver the message across the world. Many are aware and many are not.
The NHS on the other hand, are not allowed to access such sites like the ones above as they hold confidential information, also accessing these sites is another issue as staff may go onto inappropriate sites.
Within the event there were refreshments and lunch present within and other members from different tPCT were present and it was nice to see different organisations (Yorkshire and Humberside) get together and share knowledge and opinions.
As I was totally new to the whole concept of NHS within the media event there were very technical terms being used which were out of my scope so I did raise questions to what the terms mean.
The event lasted a full day so it was a case of rather than going back to work I was able to go home.
Overall, the event was about communication using media streaming technology in order for us as an organisation and other organisations to spread the message across to patients/public and communities etc
