Last year was the first Lancashire & South Cumbria NHS Health & Social Care Apprenticeship Awards, hosted by BBC One’s the Apprentice contestant, Aaron Willis, at Mellor’s Stanley House Hotel and Spa.
Lancashire Teaching Hospital’s Widening Participation Tutor, Olivia Dymond, secured herself a highly commended award after coming runner up in the category of ‘Non-clinical Apprentice of the Year’ for her hard work and dedication on the Level 6 Career Development apprenticeship standard.
