In any effective organisation, training and capability development initiatives are critical to bringing about real and sustained change and value creation.
People need to be trained to develop new skills, new ways of working to enable them to do business in the challenging healthcare environment and lay the foundations for future success. Such initiatives need to be well planned, sustainable and integrated into overall direction and strategy. The challenge of the global pandemic also demonstrated the need for organisations to have robust and adaptive capabilities to respond to external events.
This category is intended to recognise and commend excellence in the development and implementation of these training and capability development programmes.
