My day starts at 6.10am, early morning rise for my walk, 5k done this morning which took me down our local nature trail on the outskirts of Hamilton, home for 7am to wake the rest of the house for breakfast and to start the last week of school here in Scotland.
8:00am
I switch on work at 8am, check my my diary commitments, emails and make my plan for the day, it’s a busy one! A lot of meetings ahead, a good mix of project contract meetings, service development and supervision.
8:30am
Next up, it’s the school run and a quick dash to the post office to post prescriptions, need to ensure I’m timely with prescriptions as don’t want people waiting for them. Then it’s back to the office to join the other clinical leads for our allocations meeting where we work collaboratively with the operations team to allocate the workload between our staff.
12:30pm
I attend a fortnightly meeting with one of our projects, here we decide clinical management plans for patients to ensure the correct level of care is provided by the correct provide. Working closely with our project leads is imperative to joint working to ensure we provide effective and efficient care between NHS and private services.
Admin time now, responding to all forms of emails from the service but clinical patient enquiries as well. Mondays always present a lot of thought from the weekend and a lot of questions about treatment plans etc. I then spend time liaising with operations regarding more complex presentations and teams enquiries.
2:30pm
The clinical leads meet with our service manager, which centres around service delivery and deciding as a team how to ensure we continue to provide excellent patient centred care.
4:00pm
Supervision with other members of the ADHD team.
Time to sign off for a few hours…

Time to give home life some attention, which sees me making dinner and chatting with the kids after school. After dinner we head to the swing park as the weather is beautiful this evening.

Sign in to catch up on outstanding admin from the day, this includes some patient letters produced from our project meeting, surrounding referrals back to their service and some discharge letters.
