Nottinghamshire Alliance Training Hub

Training Hubs are integral to Health Education England’s core purpose of supporting the delivery of excellent healthcare and health improvement to patients and the public through ensuring the primary care workforce of today and tomorrow are trained in the right numbers, have the necessary skills, NHS values and behaviours at the right time and in the right place. Nottinghamshire Alliance Training Hub is accountable to the HEE Primary Care School and Postgraduate Dean with respect to educational governance and quality management of the clinical learning environment, and the organisation of clinical placements for work undertaken under HEE’s direction. Through HEE we are also accountable to the National Training Hub Oversight Board with respect to educational governance and quality management of the clinical learning environment, and the organisation of clinical placements for work undertaken under HEE’s direction. Training Hubs are jointly accountable for workstreams developed in collaboration between HEE and NHS England & Improvement nationally and to Nottingham & Nottinghamshire Integrated Care System (ICS) for workstreams developed locally to address identified local workforce priorities. We are ideally positioned to enable place-based delivery of education, training and workforce development of the wider NHS primary care workforce at undergraduate and postgraduate levels and at all stages of an NHS professional’s career in primary care. Through a place-based approach and the management of educational tariffs, Training Hubs can positively influence NHS workforce investment decisions and the delivery of population healthcare needs to help tackle observed healthcare inequalities. We work with NHS and Local Authority Commissioners, primary and community providers to enable, support and embed new roles within primary care teams, support the retention of the primary care workforce, and support workforce planning and practice education placement co-ordination.
