A nursing trainee working on a gastroenterology ward at Stepping Hill Hospital has been named as Apprentice of the Year by the University of Salford.
Jordan Booth got the award following nominations from a number of colleagues who all praised his hard work, positive attitude, and caring professionalism.
Jordan began his two year placement as a trainee nursing associate (TNA) at the hospital in March last year. As a TNA, Jordan works alongside his nursing colleagues on the ward with the support of his assessor and supervisor, developing his skills and knowledge while helping the team provide care for patients with gastro conditions.
Colleagues said that Jordan’s willingness to go above and beyond while supporting those working alongside him marked him out as a truly outstanding apprentice who is destined for an excellent career in nursing.
Jordan received the title of ‘Apprentice of the Year for The School of Health and Society’ from the university, marking him as the top among apprentice nursing placements from across the Greater Manchester area.
Lindsay Gregory, Pre-Registration Matron at Stockport NHS Foundation Trust’s Learning and Development Team said “So many different people all found themselves saying the same things about Jordan; that he was such a kind, helpful and positive presence on the ward, that he never let you down and was a joy to work with. We’re so pleased Jordan has won this award, it is very much deserved, and marks the start of what we’re sure will be a long and fantastic career in nursing ahead of him.”
