Christmas came early for Damar assessor Chris Barnard and MD Jonathan Bourne at a celebration event for 13 members of staff who have successfully completed apprenticeships in customer service with Bolton Primary Care Trust.
The event took place on 1st December, the same day as the team’s early Christmas party.

Some members of staff had initially been a bit nervous about returning to learning after a break but all were delighted to have successfully achieved their qualifications and to have their competence recognised in this way. Staff commented that the programme had helped their confidence at work and that it had improved their understanding of their department’s work.
Jonathan Bourne commented: “we are delighted to see another group of NHS staff successfully completing their apprenticeships. The work that all the learners put in was tremendous and it is great to see how apprenticeships have been of benefit both to individual learners and the team as a whole.”
