Over 40 members of staff from Peterborough City, Stamford and Hinchingbrooke Hospitals received certificates.

The graduation celebration, which was held at Peterborough City Hospital, saw NHS staff pick up awards for a variety of qualifications and achievements.

43 NHS workers were awarded their Care Certificate at the graduation, which is based on 15 standards that staff need to complete.

The 43 new Health Care Assistants all achieved the Care Certificate within the first 15 weeks of working for the NHS Trust.

5 other NHS staff from Peterborough, Hinchingbrooke and Stamford Hospitals were awarded with certificates for different apprenticeship qualifications. These included: Healthcare Support Worker, Business Administration and Clinical Healthcare.

The evening, on January 17, also saw the presentation of the Outstanding Learner Awards.

NHS staff at Peterborough, Hinchingbrooke and Stamford Hospitals had the opportunity to nominate a colleague who they believe reflects the NHS Trust's values. 

The values are: Putting Patients First, Actively Respectful, Seeking to Improve and Develop, Caring and Compassionate and Working Positively Together.

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.”
