We are delighted for Liverpool Women’s NHS Foundation Trust’s Maternity Team who scooped a top award at the Nursing Times Workforce Awards last night for Preceptorship Programme of the Year.
The Nursing Times Workforce Awards are held each year to recognise and reward the excellent work that is being done to support the nursing and midwifery workforce. The event inspires and rewards organisations for excellence in supporting the future of the health and care workforce. This year’s summit and awards event were held on Tuesday 21st November 2023 at the Hilton London Metropole.
Liverpool Women’s Midwifery Preceptorship Programme Team was shortlisted for the support and success the Trust has had with its Preceptorship programme, which is now in its 3rd year and has achieved a 98% staff retention rate, providing support and development to newly qualified midwives. The positive feedback received from the Trust’s Newly Qualified Midwives was also part of the award entry.
Alison Murray is the Trust’s Deputy Head of Midwifery and was at the event to help the team collect the award. She commented: “We are absolutely thrilled with this award which acknowledges the multidisciplinary team approach within our Maternity service and for making the vision we had for midwifery preceptorship come to life. We are proud that we have a team of leaders who are supporting and inspiring the next generation of newly qualified midwives at Liverpool Women’s and for the benefit of the wider NHS in the future.”
