Dr Thomas Gorst
Works at Torbay & South Devon NHS Foundation Trust
Dr Tom Gorst has provided excellent guidance, advice and support as supervisor to IMGs which helped them settle into the Paediatric training programme and into a new hospital practice environment.
I have started my training afresh, being an IMG. Being fairly NHS naive and RCPCH naive, Tom taught me everything with patience. He is an excellent guide towards my goals and has always been the best support there is. His feedbacks have always been considerate and constructive and thanks to him, I have felt more confident in my training pathway.
He also thinks futuristically that helps me work for the coming few years rather than just working towards my ARCP. I also love the lateral thinking and the strategic thinking he inputs in the case management.
Rebecca (Becky) Hambly
Works at Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust
Becky’s teaching skills and neonatal nursing knowledge make her the ideal nominee in this category. She is exemplary as a neonatal Clinical Skills Facilitator.
She is the true definition of educational support, not just for our QIS learners, but for all nursing and medical staff.
Her debrief skills and learning conversations are to be admired, and is why she is a highly regarded PNA.
Becky will be the most fantastic educator when she moves on to her new role (in December) as Regional Practice Educator with the SWODN.
Becky puts her all into her role as CSF. Every one values and respects Becky for the amazing nurse that she is.
We should all be a bit more Becky

Dr Chris Williams

Chris Williams took over sim lead from the inimitable John Ellis many years ago. He is now inimitable himself! He is a stalwart for paediatric and neonatal point of care simulation. His SOH and his learning conversations make running them a joy. Many a trainee and nurse have been inspired by Chris’ innovation. He is the best advocate for education and teaching. I will miss his ‘Tigger’ like service weeks on the Neonatal service side. Our loss is RCH paeds gain.
