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

The NHS Humber Health Partnership (NLAG and HUTH) is pleased to share a valuable professional development opportunity with our partners across the Northern Lincolnshire, Hull, and East Riding ICB region.

They are launching a new cohort for the Level 5 Coaching Professional apprenticeship this February.

Key Program Details:

• Qualification: Includes the highly regarded ILM Level 5 Certificate in Coaching and Mentoring.
• Delivery Partner: TACK TMI.

Focus on Non-Levy Paying Organisations

We are especially keen to offer this programme to colleagues in smaller, non-levy paying organisations including GP Practices, Hospices, Dental etc, who might not have the capacity to commission a cohort independently.

To support this, The NHS Humber Health Partnership are making a maximum of 10 levy transfers available. These transfers will cover the full learning costs of the programme (equivalent to £5,000 per place). If there is further interest beyond the 10, there is potential opportunity to source further levy transfers through other networks.

Action Required

Please circulate this opportunity within your networks to any colleagues who would welcome this chance to develop high-level coaching and mentoring skills.

Next Steps:

Colleagues interested in learning more are invited to attend an information session in November. To receive the link for a session, please ask them to contact:

Email: hyp-tr.apprentices@nhs.net or nlg-tr.twapprenticeships@nhs.net

Thank you to NHS Humber Health Partnership for helping us make this development opportunity accessible across the Humber patch.

If anybody else has any further apprenticeship queries, please do not hesitate to reach out to me george.zuerner@nhs.net

Inspire the Next Generation: Help Shape Youth Volunteering in Primary Care

We’re creating a new Youth Volunteering Toolkit—and we’d love your input.

This toolkit is designed to help NHS and VCSE organisations offer meaningful volunteering opportunities to young people aged 16–24. For primary care settings, it’s a chance to spark interest in healthcare careers and build a future workforce that understands and values your work.

Even if you’ve never worked with young volunteers before, your perspective matters. We want to hear what support you’d need, what concerns you might have, and what ideas you have for making youth volunteering work in your setting.

Together, we can make youth volunteering a practical and inspiring pathway into primary care.

NHS England and the Centre for Pharmacy Postgraduate Education (CPPE) are pleased to announce the launch of the “Pharmacy technician development programme: Preparing for the future”.

About the training programme 

Preparing for the future is designed to build confidence and support pharmacy technicians to develop their skills to deliver a wider range of services, now and into the future.

Open to all pharmacy technicians, this flexible and supportive programme aims to support the development of clinical confidence, leadership skills, and professional practice. Participants will be supported throughout the programme by a dedicated education supervisor, and the programme is designed to offer a flexible, supportive learning experience, designed collaboratively with each pharmacy technician.

Delivered between October 2025 and March 2026, pharmacy technicians will engage in structured learning that enhances clinical, leadership, and decision-making skills. The programme will particularly focus on supporting pharmacy technicians to adapt to the evolving scope of practice, including recent changes to supervision legislation, the expansion of the Pharmacy First service, and the use of Patient Group Directions.

At the start of the programme, learners will work with their education supervisor to identify their individual development needs and will be supported thereafter to meet these, progressing at a pace that suits them.

Calling all Healthcare Pre and Post Registration Trainees, Students and Apprentices – Your voice shapes the future of healthcare education!

The National Education and Training Survey (NETS) offers a unique insight into the multi-professional practice learning environment and the experience of the current and future workforce. The NETS is an opportunity for learners and trainees to reflect on their experience and identify what is working well and what could be improved.

NETS asks 31 core questions focusing on NHS England’s Education Quality Framework standards for delivering high quality education and training in the practice learning environment. The questions are organised around five themes: Induction, Clinical Supervision, Facilities, Learning Opportunities and Teamwork.

NETS findings will provide crucial insight into the learner and trainee workforce. The results give NHS England, providers and ICBs valuable information to support their workforce helping with retention and recruitment.

National Education and Training Survey (NETS)

Whether things have gone well, or you’ve faced challenges, your perspective matters.

By completing this survey, you’re helping improve training pathways, strengthen support for supervision, and ensure continued investment in advanced practice roles across the system.
