Staff across Peterborough City, Hinchingbrooke and Stamford Hospital came together last night 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, 43 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 five members of staff across Peterborough City, Hinchingbrooke and Stamford hospitals were presented with certificates for apprenticeship qualifications, including Healthcare Support Worker, Business Administration and Clinical Healthcare.

In addition to the Care Certificate and Apprenticeship certificates, the evening saw the Outstanding Learner Awards presented. These awards are nominated by other colleagues that reflect the Trust values: Putting Patients First, Actively Respectful, Seeking to Improve and Develop, Caring and Compassionate and Working Positively Together.

The celebration event was held at Peterborough City Hospital and saw a number of staff across various wards and departments attend to receive their qualification certificates. Hannah Coffey, Chief Executive for the Trust said: “I would like to offer my congratulations to each individual for their achievements and to the five winners in our Outstanding Learner Awards. This was a wonderful evening of celebration and acknowledging the hard work that our staff undertake for their qualifications.”
