Leadership Academy

The NHS Leadership Academy offers practical, targeted, locally-available and accessible world-leading leadership development for everyone working in primary care, whether they’re at the beginning of their careers or more experienced. They offer a range of programme from Bitesize Learning interventions to National Programmes at all levels (some funded through the Apprenticeship Levy-see Apprenticeship Programmes).

Leadership Bites are short learning guides to “learn in 20 minutes” about key topics to enhance your self-awareness and understanding, to develop your skills as a leader, including virtual leadership and leadership styles, and wellbeing for you and your teams. https://se.leadershipacademy.nhs.uk/development-opportunities-and-support/bitesize-learning/leadership-bites/ Also see Surrey training hub calendar for dates.

Leadership Espresso: Virtual learning session, these are 60-120 minute group sessions, based on key leadership topics, which will be theory, practical and experiential based.

Coaching in a crisis: These are focused 60-minute sessions supported by a qualified Coach from our Coaching Faculty or external provider to help you work through a specific issue or topic that you are dealing with to generate insights and new perspectives to help empower you and move forward in a positive way.

Alongside our provision of many funded and regular training events, we are also able to support with funding towards external courses and modules. The Surrey Training Hub (STH) has delegated authority from Health Education England, Kent, Surrey & Sussex (HEE KSS) to manage continuing professional development (CPD) funding allocations from HEE.  

There are currently several funding pots available to non-medical staff working in GP Practices across Surrey Heartlands

• CPD New Process (see below)
• Training Hub funds ringfenced for ‘roles not covered by the new process’
• Workforce Development Funds linked to ICS priorities

If you are a doctor, please see the GP page on the website for opportunities

If you are a non-clinical member of the primary care workforce, please discuss with your practice manager, and your PCN Education Team may be able to advise on course funding, HEE KSS, through the Surrey Training Hub.  There are also many courses that are available through the Apprenticeship route - see Apprenticeship page.  You are more than welcome to contact the Surrey Training Hub to enquire about funding available.

CPD New Process

An increased investment of £150m in continuing professional development (CPD) has been made available for registered nurses, midwives, and allied health professionals (AHPs). HEE KSS, through the training hub, distributed guidance, and allocations for a new process for eligible staff* in the PCNs/Practices to access CPD funding to cover a three-year period 2020-2023 

Funding equates to £1,000 per eligible registered health professional over the next 3 years, equalling £333 per year.

The Primary Care CPD allocation is calculated using the data submitted in the (NWRS) National Workforce Reporting Service so please ensure new staff members are added to ensure we receive the correct allocation for your teams.

For clarity, this funding is an investment solely for CPD and cannot be used for funding backfill.* Table of roles covered and not covered under new allocation CPD (begun 2020): 

Application Process for all funding

Our guidance document and CPD application form HERE identifies the process STH will adopt to manage funding, ensuring prioritisation, approval and fair allocation of funds towards CPD of primary care staff in Surrey Heartlands. 

Any funds allocated are intended as a contribution towards furthering personal and professional development within Primary Care, and should be in conjunction with the employer’s contribution to CPD. 

Applications should be emailed to syheartlandsccg.surreytraininghub@nhs.net with the subject title ‘CPD Application – insert applicant name and GP practice’
