Monday 10th January-First Day

So today I started my first day working at Hammersmith Hospital. I was greeted by Ingle Digby who gave me a tour of the hospital and then of the office that I would be working out of the next 6 weeks. I decided to keep it quiet that it was my birthday as I felt nervous enough it was my first day of my internship and also the first time I had been working in 7 months.
The company I was working for was the Imperial College National Health Service Health Care (ICNHSHC) and the department I worked in specialised in creating learning programmes for nurses and doctors. The learning programmes could range from a online presentation to creating a database for education purposes.
After the tour Ingle introduced me to the team I would be working with, I was quite surprised how small the team was and where we were also located. We were located opposite HM Wormwood Scrubs prison and our offices used to be halls of residence.
Our team consisted of Ingle (Manager of Education) Paul and Ben (Both head of Interaction and Computing) Rachel (Another Manager) and Anna who is Rachel's P.A
I was given a brief introduction about what the next 6 weeks would consist of and it did sound like it would be a good internship that would offer loads of experience which is what I was looking for when I first joined this TVU graduate internship.
Such things I could look forward to were the following:
i) Creating a website for the office
ii) Going to an exhibition in week 3 to study new e-learning for health and medical
iii) Learning new parts of technology such as databasing using asp.net
On my first day I also had someone else who was doing a internship with me from TVU (Gerald Cole) so it was nice working with someone who was in the position as myself.

Ingle first got us working on a online presentation software called "Presi" which is like Microsoft Powerpoint but with a bit more interaction and less colours. It was a very impressive software. This brought the end of day one and was looking forward to the next six weeks.
