London Ambulance Service Trust – No ordinary challenge – increasing mentoring capacity by introducing training stations

Needing to recruit 700 clinicians in a year, London Ambulance Service Trust set up training stations where experienced educators could mentor two new members of staff at once.

A selection of those being trained and mentored rated their experience at 98 out of 100. Sickness rates were well below the Trust average.

Judges said this initiative made a “real difference to staff morale and patient care in a challenging environment”.

Finalists:

  • Birmingham Children’s Hospital - Aspire@BCH
  • Birmingham Community Healthcare Foundation Trust - Care in Focus
  • Central London Community Healthcare Trust - Newly Qualified Speech and Language Therapist Professional Development Programme
  • Greater Manchester West Mental Health Foundation Trust - Developing a Career Pathway in Mental Health for People with Lived Experience
