Louise Turner Wordsmiths Unlimited
A 2.5 hour interactive training course aimed at supporting NHS leaders and their teams to submit winning entries into national awards.
NHS Employers is hosting these free workshops to help you, your team and your organisation achieve recognition for the brilliant work that you do.
Awards create an opportunity to celebrate and share good practice not only within your organisation but with the wider health and care community, and beyond.
Winning or being shortlisted for awards can provide a real boost to staff morale and motivation. It can help enhance your organisation’s reputation and help to position you as a standout employer.
To help get the most out of the workshops it would be useful to bring along a project that might be considered for an awards entry or one which could be used a case study example to discuss during the training.
Delegates will gain:
-
an understanding of how to spot awards events which are worth considering
-
confidence in recognising a potentially award-winning project
-
the skills to write compelling award submissions and creating a framework to apply
-
an understanding the range of evidence that can support an application
-
knowledge of the critical role of storytelling in convincing the judges
-
understanding of the benefits of awards and how to make the most of being shortlisted.
