General Practice Assistant (GPA) Programme - Open for Applications
Shared on behalf of West Yorkshire Training Hub
GPA Programme – Open to all Yorkshire & Humber Practices
The General Practice Assistant (GPA) is now an established national role which was created to relieve some of the admin burden from doctors within General Practice. GPs, Practice Managers and Nurses created the framework, with the aim to support a standardised approach to practices upskilling their team. After the successful pilots across the Northeast, Cumbria, and Yorkshire, we are now on our sixth year of the GPA programme.
NHSE have funded 156 places for the 2025/26 GPA programme and applications are now open. This year there is an ad-hoc application process and submissions can be made throughout the year. Learners will be enrolled straight away if successful with the aim of starting the programme the 1st of the following month. The closing date for this programme is 31st March 2026.
