…and the winner is, Dr Benjamin Geers from @DPT_NHS.
The judges noted that Dr Geers truly excelled across multiple areas over the last 12 months - as a clinician, as a leader, as an educator, and as a researcher.
His many achievements make him a truly deserving winner of the RCPsych's Core Trainee of the Year award. Well done Benjamin! #rcpsychAwards

…and the winners are Mood, Emotions and Relationships Pathway from @DPT_NHS!
The judges were impressed with the scale of change, involving every clinician without new money. In 2025 more than 500 children were waiting over 18 weeks for assessment; by March this year that number was zero, and the 52-week waits had gone. Fantastic work by the team! #rcpsychAwards
