National award for NHS trust's training programme

Dr Harjinder Kainth and Laura Willis were recognised

A course training want-to-be healthcare bosses has received a national award.

The Future Medical Leaders Programme, run by The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust (RWT), won the Good Practice in Training Category at the Healthcare Honours Awards.

Aimed at registrars and new senior medical staff, the programme supports medical colleagues with the next stage of their career.

It is made up of several training modules, with prospective attendees able to select the sessions that meet their specific learning needs.

Dr Harjinder Kainth, consultant in acute internal medicine and general internal medicine, joined Laura Willis, acting group head of corporate learning services, at the ceremony.

Speaking at the Houses of Parliament, Ms Willis said the pair were truly shocked to win as the competition was high.

"It’s a fantastic recognition of the passion and commitment the team have for designing and delivering excellence in colleague development," she said.
