On Friday, 28th June, Jane Parkinson, Apprenticeship Programmes Trainer, won the Team Player Award at the Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Health and Social Care Apprenticeship Awards.
The awards are an annual celebration, hosted at Blackpool Winter Gardens, honouring the outstanding contribution and achievements the exceptional Apprentices from across Lancashire and South Cumbria have made over the last year.
After multiple nominations, Jane was recognised by the judging panel for her hard work and dedication to deliver successful apprenticeships and the impact that she has on the students and learner she interacts with.
This is not the first time that Jane has been recognised for the impact of her incredible work. Last year, she was a triple winner at the Trust’s Health Academy Education Awards, whilst also being shortlisted for a fourth.
Congratulations, Jane and thanks for all the hard work!
Including Jane, the Trust had twenty employees shortlisted across nine categories for the annual event.

Jackie Higham, Head of Widening Participation and Apprenticeships at the Trust, said:
