Juliet Muirhead, Amy’s manager, said “From the start, Amy showed a keen desire to develop skills beyond clinical duties, eagerly broadening her horizons.

Charlotte Kelly of Bradford Cyrenians was commended for her nomination in the Professional Services Apprentice of the Year category. Charlotte’s manager said about her role, “She supports two teams as a Tenancy Management Officer and is always keen to learn as she goes along. Charlotte immediately put her own stamp on the role and has taken on the job and tasks with gusto.”
