Taking Minutes

[weekendready]

Just out of curiosity if you are a PA/secretary/administrator how many sets of minutes do you do each month?

I do 2 sets a week
PA in the NHS

I've done them for years so tend to set templates up and type as they talk these days it's much easier

I don't have to do minutes any more thank god as I still have an injured forearm from excessive scribbling and this was with my 80wpm Teeline! I used to love it at the time but my arm would hurt for days afterwards

That is really a How Long is a Piece of String? question.

NHS - once a week for the MDM and the occasional other meeting.

Education - could be 1, could be none (the BEST weeks), could be 4. It's the prep for the meetings that takes the time.

In local govt, hundreds of the things. Easily the most formalised language, the most text and the most interminable meetings where people drone on forever but say absolutely nothing of consequence before shouting at one another about someone letting the grass on the verge outside their cottage grow 1mm too long

@worriedaboutmoney2022 - does that work with Zoom meetings or are they in person ones?

My PA does 4-8 a week. Social care.

Yes most meetings are mainly zoom so I have 2 screens open one for zoom, one with my word template and you can also record the meetings on zoom so if you miss anything you can go back to it
