Dr. Mansoor Ali, Alida Towns and Faye Alexander from the Medical Education Department had organised a send-off to BTHFT trainees on the very last day of their rotation before they move on to the next one. The occasion was graced by the presence of our CMO Dr. Ray Smith, Prof Alex Brown, consultants from various department and trainee.
We at BTHFT hoped that our trainees have had a wonderful time with us, having been able to achieve their training competencies and requirements in what has truly been a challenging and difficult year looking after our patients, providing round the clock care during the rise in COVID numbers and trying to adjust to the working environment post pandemic. Dr. Ray Smith had thanked all the trainees for their efforts and wished them good luck in their future endeavors encouraging them to come and work for BTHFT.
We really hope that our trainees had been able to have made a difference to people’s lives, added value to the overall patient care and experience and most importantly felt that at BTHFT we had helped in shaping an important chapter in their training.
Some of our trainees may stay longer but majority will be rotating to experience new adventures elsewhere and we at BTHFT sincerely hope that they would come and work with us again.
Dr. Ali wanted to ensure like previous years, BTHFT recognised its trainees and acknowledged everyone’s contribution and celebrated their accomplishments during these trying and testing times; a small get together had been organised for all to have attended the main BRI foyer opposite Costa today for our colleagues, consultants along with our PG dept. personnel to give our trainees a proper celebratory send off and thank them for all their hard work!
This work would have not been possible without the help and support from colleagues from our postgraduate department mainly Alida Towns and Faye Alexander.
