Meet our staff induction guru – Holly Burns guide to July’s staff induction

June 7, 2024

Continuing with our induction lead stories ahead of the Midland Met inductions in July, this week we’re profiling the Project Coordinator for the Midland Met Induction Programme, Holly Burns.

After working at the QE Hospital as a safeguarding compliance manager for seven years, Holly’s love and passion for projects led her to the path of Midland Met. Holly explained: “I always find myself wanting to know the answer to things and having a drive to learn. This is an exciting project to be part of.”

Since joining in March 2023, a big part of Holly’s role has involved supporting the induction leads in collating information into their documents and supporting the development of the induction programme. She adds: “I’m one of the key contacts for the induction leads across the Trust. I keep them informed on the processes for launching the induction and the areas to be completed, to feed back to wider teams.”

Naturally, colleagues will wonder what is involved in the staff inductions. Holly outlines the process: “The induction contains a few components. The first is a general induction which is mandatory for all colleagues working at Midland Met. It involves interactive video modules and an area-based induction where colleagues can watch departmental walkthrough films and learn about the new processes at Midland Met. They’ll also be information about new equipment training and, of course, site induction tours.”

To ensure a safe transition, Holly stresses the importance of all parts of the induction programme. Ahead of the induction launch, please keep a look out for more staff comms and don’t hesitate to contact the team if you need any information via swbh.mmuhinduction@nhs.net.
