My current job involves managing the operational elements for emergency and medicine, acute stroke and geriatrics and adult care.<\/p>\n<p>The Level 7 Senior Leader Apprenticeship at Kent Business School appealed to me because they offered a greater amount of face-to-face study and the modules looked varied and interesting. The campus at Kent is wonderful and as I thrive on social interaction, I wanted to ensure I could physically study there.<\/p>\n<p>Balancing studying and a busy full-time job (and, like me, young children too!) is not an easy thing, but the application of the learning within your working role is so beneficial.\u00a0 I have gained so much &#8211; the modules on Finance enable me to understand financial reports and meant I can collaborate with the finance departments; management and operational modules have helped mould me into a responsible leader and have really aided the way I deal with employee wellbeing, imperative during a global pandemic and a time of crisis in the NHS.<\/p>\n<p>The Innovation modules of the Level 7 Senior Leadership Apprenticeship were by far my favourite and have really changed the way I think and view my profession. The final business proposal that I am submitting for the MBA course is based on augmented reality in clinical training \u2013 an exciting area that I really want to explore.<\/p>\n<p>As well as the academic experience, the MBA cohort comes from far and wide in all corners of business.<\/p>\n<p>I have made lifelong friends and contacts.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kent.ac.uk\/\">The University of Kent<\/a>\u00a0has delivered higher apprenticeships since 2011, working with industry-leading employers across a variety of industry sectors and public organisations.\u00a0For more information, visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kent.ac.uk\/apprenticeships\">http:\/\/www.kent.ac.uk\/apprenticeships\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>AMBA-accredited,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kent.ac.uk\/kent-business-school\/mba\">\u00a0Kent Business School&#8217;s MBA<\/a>\u00a0is underpinned by our high-quality research and informed by the global outlook of our international community.
