External connections — Who did you talk to outside of your organisation?
We had the BOPA AI group meeting on Monday, I feel well out of place there is some super smart folk around, but its so interesting listening to how people think about research opportunities and it is great to be part of a group that is really helping each other grow.
Growth opportunities — What would you have liked to do more of?
This week I was looking at how we could improve the digital and AI capabilities of the CCC pharmacy team in line with the RPS statements that where published. I didn’t spend too much time working on a proposal but got some thoughts down on paper that reflected the need to do something, I’d like to spend a bit of time on that over the next couple of weeks. Its an interesting challenge as its not just teaching or putting in a solution, there needs to be a real cultural shift to get it right. I think people see the importance of it, but theres so much going on everywhere it will be difficult. I think it needs a bit of branding and marketing within the pharmacy dept to get people engaged. Think I’ll have fun coming up with a strategy for that.
Changes — What do you wish you could have changed?
I’ve been ill since Tuesday, still feel pretty rough today. Its Robins second birthday and we are both struggling, watched frozen 2 this morning on the couch having a cuddle. There was an omnicell go-live and I was off work on the day after and couldn’t support my team when they needed me to help. They managed wonderfully, but I would have liked to take some of the pressure off them.

Emotional moments — What situation caused the strongest emotional response this week?
The half an hour or so I spent thinking about levelling up the pharmacy teams skills and knowledge in digital and AI was really exciting and felt great, that is definitely something I feel is important.
Learning — What did you learn?
Maybe not fully learnt this yet, but probably need to stop asking for permission and just crack on
Enjoyment — What did you enjoy the most?
Thinking about the future- upskilling the pharmacy team
Looking ahead — What are you looking forward to next week?
Looks a busy week next week. Some interesting things to look forward to, (but a lot of noise…) I’ll need to make sure I plan in sometime to focus on the projects that really need attention. My plan is to start to plan out the projects that haven’t started yet and get started on them.
