A TALENTED apprentice at Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust is celebrating after winning the highly coveted Worcestershire Apprentice of the Year award 2022.
Georgina Davies, an apprentice student in the neurophysiology team, was announced as the winner at the Worcestershire Apprenticeship Awards held at West Midland Safari Park.
The event, attended by more than 300 people, celebrated the amazing achievements of apprentices from across Worcestershire.
Georgina is the first degree apprentice student for the neurophysiology team and she is part of a dedicated team who carry out diagnostic testing for a wide range of neurological conditions such as epilepsy, sleep disorders and peripheral nerve dysfunction.
She said: “At times this has been challenging, especially due to the changing demands as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
“I’m proud to have managed to achieve both academically and practically throughout my apprenticeship, completing all work on time and to a high standard.”
Clinical scientist Heather Betteridge hailed Georgina as a ‘valuable asset’ to the neurophysiology team,
“It can be a little overwhelming working in the department and balancing studies and clinical work. But Georgina developed strategies to adapt, and she continued to use these to overcome and manage the more stressful and busy times,” she said.
“I believe this experience has enabled her to succeed in her work. I am confident she has a bright future ahead of her in this field and the NHS is very lucky to have her.”
Georgina is excited about her future within the trust and is looking forward to the opportunity to mentor new apprentices in 2023.
