Thursday 11th / Friday 12th September 2008

My 3rd day was meeting my line manager (Rachel Rutherford) she was my main contact after Mervyn Silva for the projects that i would under go in the following weeks to come. As it was my first day getting introduced to her i had alot of things to learn. Again I was introduced to the other memebers of the organisation.

Some were Interpreters people who make bookings regarding venues/rooms within the organisation or outside the organisation using different language tools.

I was introduced to the hierarchy of executives in a brief description of who they are what their roles are within the tPCT also members below them and so fourth.

First meeting of the week was at 11am till 12pm, this meeting was very professional and minutes were read out and apologies were also taken into account. It was within a boardroom that was quite large based on floor 1. The things that happened are as follow:

• I introduced myself and role to others that I didn't meet yet
• Discussion about each persons role and their work done so far
• Next meeting and time
• NHS constitution etc

Friday was as follow; we discussed some of what equipment would be used. The software and hardware that was initially discussed with the suppliers would consist some of the following:

• Adobe Premier for editing and encoding prior to uploading
• Windows 2003 / 2008 server
• Windows Media Server and Windows Media Encoder (to play the videos on)
• Digital video cameras, microphones and lighting etc
• A laptop or a desktop PC

The media training would be provided by the University of Bradford after a few meetings taking place etc.

I drafted a piece of work in Microsoft Word that would give an outline to the cost, capabilities and comparisons etc to what equipment should be used. So mainly my work involved me sitting at a desk doing word documents and other days i would get hands on work more practical.

It was quite fun as I was left alone and got on with my work and used my initiative to plan ahead.
