CPD Funding 24/25 - Please tell us what training is needed
We’re pleased to be able to let you know that CPD funding for nurses and AHPs will be available again for 2024/25.
In order to maximise use of limited funding and improve accessibility of training, the process for accessing CPD funding was revised last year, and will follow a similar process this year. We would again like PCNs to let us know what training is needed so that courses can be identified, within the funding envelope, to be available for all eligible staff to access.
Based on previous requests and feedback, please find a tick-list of potentially funded courses. In order to enable planning of courses to meet PCN/practice needs, please use this tick-list to indicate which courses your eligible staff would like to access, and suggest any additions.
Completed tick-lists should be returned to hnyicb.traininghub@nhs.net by Mon 5th August 2024.
Please note, funding is a limited envelope, and it may not be possible to meet all requests. Indicating your preferences will help identify demand and enable planning to best utilise the funding envelope, taking PCN requests into account and offering fair share access.
Once all data has been received, we will be able to arrange provision of courses within the 2024/25 funding envelope, reflecting your requests, then share updated information on accessing the identified courses. Meanwhile, the 2023/24 offer is still open to access, details can be found here: CPD Funded Training – Training Hub (yhtraininghubs.co.uk)
Many thanks for your help with this process. If you have any queries about completing the form, accessing the funding, or potential course options please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We would be happy to answer questions or arrange a chat. We’ve also included a brief FAQ below.
Best wishes

| Frequently Asked Questions | |||
| Q: Who is eligible for the NHSE CPD Funding? | |||
A: Every registered:
Below is the list of 14 professions that are included in the AHP group:
The offer described will utilise the Humber and North Yorkshire (HNY) general practice funding allocation and be open to eligible staff employed by a practice or PCN in HNY.
|
|||
| Q: Why aren’t other roles included? | |||
| A: The included list has been mandated by NHSE in line with the governmental budget allocation for CPD, this remains the same since its introduction in 2020-21. Training hubs have fed back to NHSE practice concerns around why other wider workforce roles such as HCAs, GPAs and PAs are not currently included, in the hope they will be considered in review for future year’s allocations. For 2024-25 however the eligibility list remains the same.
|
|||
| Q: Can staff access funded training from multiple sections? | |||
| A: Yes, individuals will be able to access funded training within all of the detailed categories, up to the limit of each category.
To ensure fair access in limited categories a waiting list system will be in place for requests of further places above the category limit. If funding allows later in the year we will then be able to offer additional places on a first-come-first-served basis from the waiting list.
|
|||
| Q: Can I claim funding to source my own training, if I want to access something not likely to be in the offer (e.g. to put towards a course with higher cost)? | |||
| A: If individuals would prefer to source their own CPD course(s) their £333 CPD allowance can be claimed by completing an individual CPD funding request form (link below) and returning by 5th Aug 2024 (to enable budget planning).
CPD Individual Funding Request Form (for individuals wanting to source their own courses) Individuals will not be able to claim their £333 personal CPD allowance as well as accessing CPD funded training courses in the offer. For clarity, due to economies of scale accessing the offer is potentially worth more than the individual £333.
|
|||
| Q: I have a question not covered above, who should I contact? | |||
| A: Please contact the HNY Primary Care Workforce and Training Hub team on hnyicb.traininghub@nhs.net and we will be more than happy to help answer any questions or arrange a chat if useful.
|
|||
| Q: Can I give feedback on the available funded options? | |||
| A: Yes please! We would love to hear from you, to help us improve and further tailor the offer to meet the needs of practices, PCNs and individuals when planning future CPD funded offers.
