The Allied Health Professions (AHP) Team at West London NHS Trust have been shortlisted as a national finalist in the Annual Apprenticeship Conference 2024 FE Week aelp Apprenticeship Awards in The Widening Participation Recognition category.

This year, the seventh annual awards, run jointly by FE Week and the Association of Employment and Learning Providers and delivered in partnership with City & Guilds, attracted 380 entrants across 20 categories (narrowly beating last year’s 375 entrants) and the judges have narrowed it down to just 50 finalists.

The 20-strong judging panel included Ian Bamford, chief quality and curriculum officer at Paragon Skills, Sharon Blyfield, head of early careers at Coca-Coca Europacific Partners, and John Cope, UCAS’s director of strategy.

A parliamentary reception will take place at the House of Commons in February 2024 to recognise this year’s finalists. The winners will be announced at the tenth Annual Apprenticeship Conference gala dinner on February 27 at the International Convention Centre in Birmingham.

Shane Mann, managing director of FE Week’s publisher Lsect and AAC awards co-host, said: “As chair of the judging panel, we were overwhelmed by the number and quality of the nominations we received.”

Stephanie Bridges, chief nurse at West London NHS Trust said: “We are extremely proud of the team for achieving this nomination against strong competition.  The team have worked hard this year and I am delighted that their efforts have been recognised.”
