Graduation ceremony sees staff celebrate their achievements
Staff at North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust came together last week to celebrate the fantastic achievement of completing their Care Certificates and apprenticeship qualifications.
The Care Certificate is based on 15 standards, which staff need to complete before they can be awarded. In total, 26 new Health Care Assistants were presented with their Care Certificate awards, which they had achieved within the first fifteen weeks of their employment in the Trust. Another 11 members of staff across Peterborough City, Hinchingbrooke and Stamford hospitals were presented with certificates for apprenticeship qualifications, including Healthcare Support, Customer Service and Senior Healthcare Support.
This is the first graduation ceremony the Trust has been able to host in person since the pandemic. Jo Bennis, Chief Nurse for the Trust, said: “After being unable to hold this event for three years it was lovely to see the graduation ceremony return as a face-to-face event. It’s a fantastic opportunity to say congratulations and such a joy to celebrate everyone’s success.”
A range of outstanding learner awards were given out during the evening, nominated by colleagues, for learners that reflect the Trust values: Putting Patients First, Actively Respectful, Seeking to Improve and Develop, Caring and Compassionate and Working Positively Together.
