NHS England Gold Award for work experience excellence

By 22nd October 2025No Comments

We have once again been recognised with the Gold Award Work Experience Quality Standard from NHS England, showing our ongoing commitment to providing outstanding learning opportunities and fostering an inclusive, supportive environment.

The award reflects our continued focus on helping people of all backgrounds explore careers in community healthcare through high-quality, hands-on placements across a wide range of roles.

Keighley Hacking, Education and Student Placement Manager, said:

“Retaining the Gold Award is a wonderful celebration of our strong learning culture and the positive steps we’re taking to make education and development inclusive for everyone. We’re proud to offer opportunities that help people grow, contribute and feel valued, whatever their background or experience.”

The recognition reaffirms our dedication to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in its approach to education and career development across the communities it serves.

Colleagues and students were overwhelming positive about our work experience schemes, with one colleague feeding back:

“I would advocate for all teams to host a young person on work experience – our team enjoyed supporting them and it was a great way to give back to the local community, whilst being able to offer an insight into our area of work.”
