Apprenticeships continue to play a key part in attracting new talent to the healthcare sector, and are a core focus for IHEEM; at a recent roundtable discussion facilitated by the Institute, participants including representatives from NHS Trusts, NHSI, the supplier sector, HefmA, training providers, and IHEEM itself, got together to discuss apprenticeship and effective succession planning.
Following the event (HEJ – August and September 2018) HEJ invited four UK manufacturers – Static Systems, Haigh, Thorlux Lighting, and Brandon Medical – to share their views on the role of apprenticeships in healthcare manufacturing, and highlight the benefits to be gained from establishing an apprenticeship scheme.
