More information on the education offers can be found via our prospectus or via our Book a Course page.
Most of these educational offers are provided on a funded basis through your practices’ primary care education programme subscription. However, some of the longer or accredited courses may be chargeable, dependent on funding streams available at time of booking. Please get in touch if you require further information.
Primary Care Role Development Pathways
The Training Hub have developed an ‘at a glance’ document to help navigate the education and support for roles within Primary Care – Primary Care Role Development Pathways.
Upon opening this document, you can scroll down to view the full list of education available. It is also recommended that you filter by course topic.
Visit our Courses Page or email kernowhealthcic.workforce@nhs.net for more information about our Education Programme.
Multi-Professional Training
Our core education programme is supported by General Practice subscription, direct funding for specific projects and specialist courses, individual training place purchase and support from the pharmaceutical industry where appropriate. To sign up your practice to be able to access the programme please contact us at kernowhealthcic.workforce@nhs.net. We will get in touch with subscription costs and information.
Most of our courses can be accessed by any practice identified team members, irrespective of discipline, that are employed with a subscribing practice. We are able to procure some education and training at scale in a bespoke way that meets the learning and development needs of the wider Cornwall clinical workforce, and our team of multi professional educators regularly review our programme to ensure it is meeting the needs of our clinical and non clinical teams.
University modules & College Courses
The Training Hub provides advice and guidance for those staff wanting to undertake accredited learning (e.g. Non-Medical Prescribing modules, condition specific University level courses) and apprenticeships. We work with NHS England to enable practice teams to access CPD funding for eligible nurses and Allied Health professionals. Please contact us if you are considering development in this area and we will discuss opportunities for funding towards the cost of the course fees. You can find further information here.
