    Overview

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

    • I completed administration tasks including being on the phone with patients on a regular basis to book appointments and relay information. This included both with my AnDY contract and with CAMHS. I also had training opportunities which allowed me to run initial assessments with patients, and attend supervision assessments to guide a diagnosis. I also conducted audits, and shadowed clinicians with treatment sessions regularly.
