At The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust (PAHT), we take your development seriously. This starts from your first day, where you will join our #ISaidYesToPAHT onboarding programme to help you familiarise yourself with working at PAHT and feel part of our community.
I have attended two induction days which I loved. They were very engaging and well facilitated by the Learning and Education Centre team. There were speakers representing all hospital departments and I’ve met many people from all corners of the world and made some new friends. A couple of weeks later, I attended the new starter forum where we met all the executive and non-executive directors of the hospital. We had a speedy chit-chat with each of them asking all sorts of questions – funny and serious, we had lunch and lots of activities, engaging us all.

Continued learning
Alongside our suite of statutory and mandatory training to keep you and our patients safe, we offer a wide range of learning opportunities to support you in enhancing your skills so that you can excel in your role. In addition to our internal training programmes we offer apprenticeships and funding for continuous professional development to help you progress your career at PAHT.
Completing my apprenticeship within the NHS, allowed me to gain insight into how a hospital runs and helped me realise that the clinical side of it is just one cog in the wheel.
