We’re pleased to share that CPD funding for Nurses, Nursing Associates and Allied Health Professionals will be available again for 2025/26.

We would again like to ask PCNs to let us know what training is needed so that courses can be identified and coordinated at scale for eligible staff to access, maximising the funding envelope.

Based on previous feedback we have compiled a tick-list of potentially funded courses. Please use this form to indicate courses your eligible staff would like to access, and to suggest any additions you would like to see.

Please return completed forms to hnyicb.traininghub@nhs.net by Mon 28th July 2025.

As funding is a limited envelope, it may not be possible to encompass all requests. Indicating your preferences will help identify demand and enable planning to best utilise resources at scale. Once all data has been received, we will coordinate provision reflecting PCN requests, then share updated information on accessing the identified courses. Meanwhile, the 2024/25 offer is still open to access, details can be found here: CPD Funded Training for Nurses, NAs & AHPs – Training Hub

Note: For practices who may have training requirements associated with the Local Enhanced Services (LES), provision is being arranged separately for elements and roles not covered by CPD. Further information will be shared on this once NHSE agreements have been made. Current information can be found here: Local Enhanced Services (LES) Training – Training Hub

Many thanks for your help with the CPD process. If you have any queries about completing the CPD tick-list, accessing the funding, or potential course options please don’t hesitate to get in touch on hnyicb.traininghub@nhs.net. We would be happy to answer questions or arrange a chat.

We’re pleased to share that the Systems Collaborative Programme is now open for applications.

Commencing in September 2025, the programme is aimed at collaboratives – groups of 3-7 members working together to lead initiatives that improve health outcomes for your staff, population, and community. Collaboratives can be multidisciplinary, cross-organisational, or cross-agency and programme is open to anyone working within the health and care system, regardless of grade, profession and employer.

The key benefit of the programme is that it offers experiential learning while working on an improvement in real time, through a mixture of group learning sessions and ring-fenced time for collaboratives to work on their project with an experienced organisational development facilitator, and has previously resulted in tangible outcomes that improve population health and tackle inequalities by developing collaborative leadership skills and building trust across organisational boundaries.

Applications are now open and close on 25^th July 2025.

Please find programme information pack, which includes information on the programme and applications process.
