Alison Trehearn - trainer and facilitator, learning and development

Hello, my name is Ali and I’m a trainer and facilitator in learning and development. I feel very lucky working here because I’m part of a very supportive ‘can do’ team and we have lots of opportunity to get involved in all sorts of projects.

I’ve been involved in many projects over the years; organising our very first apprentices, patient information screens and e-learning development are just a few. My job is always varied and interesting.

I’ve seen many changes since I started; the hospital environment is constantly growing and changing. Our training centre was called The Shed and used to be in the middle of a car park where the Deakin Centre now stands. And I remember when we only had 5,000 staff in total!

I’m proud to be part of CUH because if you want to progress there are lots of opportunities here. I am also proud to say I work at CUH particularly in the past year, I think everyone has been truly marvellous.
