At Dynamic Training, we are committed to recognising and celebrating the exceptional achievements of our learners. Our Innovation and Impact Awards are designed to acknowledge the remarkable projects completed by our apprentices as part of their training programmes. These awards highlight the significant contributions our learners make within their workplaces, driving system, process, or structural improvements that benefit their organisations.

Any learner currently enrolled on an apprenticeship programme with Dynamic Training is eligible to be nominated for the Innovation and Impact Awards.

The awards are held quarterly, with winners announced in the last week of November, February, May, and August of each year. Nominations are open for six weeks, followed by a four-week judging period, ensuring ample time for thorough evaluation.

• 1st Place: £50 high street voucher
• 2nd Place: £30 high street voucher
• 3rd Place: £20 high street voucher

Nominations can be submitted by the learner's line manager, mentor, apprenticeship lead at the organisation, or Skills Development Coach, with the agreement of the learner's line manager or mentor.

We are delighted to have our company's Governors conduct the judging of our Innovation and Impact Awards on a quarterly basis. Subject to the volume of nominations, we may employ a preliminary judging panel comprised of our Senior Leadership Team to narrow down the nominations to a top 5.

Our Innovation and Impact Awards celebrate the remarkable contributions our apprentices make within the NHS, Care settings, Local Authorities and other organisations. Here are some suggested examples of how our learners, both in clinical and non-clinical roles, can drive meaningful improvements and innovations:

1. Examples Of An Improvement Of Processes

A healthcare support worker apprentice could introduce a new patient triage system in the outpatient department to reduce patient waiting times and improve overall efficiency.

An apprentice in facilities management might develop a new maintenance scheduling system to streamline repair and upkeep activities, reducing downtime for critical hospital equipment.

2. Enhancement of Patient/Relative Experiences

A healthcare support worker apprentice could create a patient-centered care plan template that allows for more personalised and effective care, leading to increased patient satisfaction and improved health outcomes.

A business administration apprentice might implement a new feedback system for relatives of patients, enabling quicker and more actionable responses to their concerns and suggestions.

3. Speeding Up Timeliness of Support

A healthcare support worker apprentice in a pathology lab could introduce an automated sample tracking system to improve the turnaround time for test results, ensuring faster diagnosis and treatment for patients.

An apprentice in project management might restructure the IT support workflow, reducing the response time for technical issues in the hospital, thereby ensuring that clinical staff can focus more on patient care.

4. Sustainability Initiatives

A healthcare support worker apprentice in a pharmacy department might initiate a medication recycling program to safely dispose of unused medications, reducing pharmaceutical waste and promoting environmental sustainability.

An apprentice in facilities management could lead a project to install energy-efficient lighting throughout the hospital, resulting in a significant reduction in energy consumption and costs.

5. Social Responsibility

A healthcare support worker apprentice in mental health care could organise community mental health awareness workshops, providing valuable resources and support to local residents and reducing the stigma associated with mental health issues.

A business administration apprentice might coordinate a company charity event to raise funds for local health initiatives, fostering a sense of community and social responsibility 
among staff and customers.

These examples highlight the diverse ways in which our apprentices can make a significant impact through their innovative projects. We are incredibly proud of their potential achievements and look forward to celebrating more success stories through our Innovation and Impact Awards.
