Apprenticeship Awards – the winners!

February 14, 2025

A key part of National Apprenticeship Week, our annual GHC Apprenticeship Week Awards provide us with a great opportunity for us to celebrate and acknowledge the commitment and contribution of all our apprentices and T-level students – as well as those who support them, including managers, mentors and our Apprenticeship and Widening Participation team.

This year we have four categories of award – these cover both our clinical and non-clinical colleagues and, for the first year, we introduced our first T-Level award. Due to the high standard of candidates this year, each award has a winner alongside an individual that the judges felt deserved special recognition.

We’re delighted to announce the winners of our annual GHC National Apprenticeship Week Awards 2025…

Winner: Debbie Blackman

Special Recognition Award: Katie Williams

Non-Clinical Apprentice of the Year

Congratulations to everyone who has been nominated this year – it is an achievement to be short-listed, and we are proud of you all.

We’d also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has taken the time to write a nomination – and to the judges who had the difficult job of selecting the winners this year.

It’s National Apprenticeship Week (5-11 February). The theme for #NAW2024 is Skills for Life, which reflects on how apprenticeships can help individuals develop the skills and knowledge they need for a rewarding career, and how employers can develop a talented workforce equipped with future-ready skills.
