Funded 2025/26 GPA Programme

Shared on behalf of West Yorkshire Training Hub (covering all Yorkshire & Humber with the GPA Programme)

Calling all Receptionists and Administrators!

Exciting news – applications are open for the 2025/26 GPA Programme, featuring a brand-new Admin-Only Accredited Route.

This pathway is designed specifically for staff who want to develop their skills and gain formal recognition. Best of all, no GP mentor is required for the admin-only route – mentors can be drawn from your existing team, such as a nurse, practice manager, or ACP, making it easier than ever to get involved.

For those who would like to pursue the full clinical route, while a GP mentor is required for overall competency sign-off, the process doesn’t need to be onerous. Secondary mentors can be assigned to support progress behind the scenes and sign off the three admin-focused units, allowing the GP to take on a lighter oversight role.

Practice Managers – Remember that the GPA role is fully funded under the ARRS scheme, and both the Clinical and Admin-Only routes are covered.

If you’d like to find out more or discuss how this could work in your practice, please get in touch, we’d love to help you get started! wy.traininghub@nhs.net
