University Hospitals of Derby and Burton's (UHDB) first cohort of Operating Department Practitioner (ODP) apprentices are celebrating after qualifying from their three-year course with flying colours and securing their dream jobs at the Trust.
The apprenticeship scheme led by the Learning and Development Team, was rated 'Good' across four key themes, following an inspection by Ofsted. The themes include quality of education, personal development, behaviours and attitudes, leadership and management.
Amy Millar, a former sixth-form student at Abbot Beyne School, has spoken of her pride as she recently qualified as a Band three Healthcare assistant at Queen's Hospital Burton (QHB) through University Hospitals of Derby and Burton's (UHDB) apprenticeship scheme.
We are delighted that three UHDB apprentices have won in their respective categories at the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Apprenticeship Awards 2024 with four of our apprentices, and our organisation as a whole, being recognised as finalists for the awards.
Naomi Kinlock, Adam Allton, and Harriet Sowter have each emerged as winners in their respective categories, underscoring the incredible contribution apprentices make to our organisation.
