Elliott Wilson, Training and Education Co-ordinator and former apprentice at the Trust, said: “I began my placement at the Trust in 2013. My Apprenticeship provided me with the opportunity to gain valuable experience and skills, helping me to take steps towards a career in the NHS.

“After finishing school, I was unsure about going into further education. I decided to apply for an apprenticeship at DBTH and, now as a full-time member of the team, I can say it was a very good decision.”

As a teaching hospital, the Trust is committed to providing placements, successfully recruiting over 100 apprentices in 2016/17.
