Personalised Care Roles Learning & Development

Please find below learning and development information plus current training and development opportunities.

CPD funding support offer for Personalised Care roles

The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Training Hub (Training Hub) are clear that investment in learning and development enables staff working in General Practice to reach their full potential and continuously improve performance.

If you are in a personalised care role (Social Prescribing Link Worker, Health and Wellbeing Coach or Care Coordinator) we have limited funding to support your professional development with up to a £250 contribution towards training or qualifications.

Types of training and education

SHORT COURSES

The Training Hub commissions and delivers short courses that meet the strategic and operational needs of Primary Care.  These courses are promoted via the Training Hub website and are available through the year.  Frequency of training depends on the demand for that training.  Individual learners can book onto these courses via the website if they meet the course criteria.

QUALIFICATIONS and OTHER TRAINING PROVIDERS

The Training Hub can support with the costs of qualification courses to support professional development through Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) or other professional bodies. The Training Hub recognises that it cannot predict all education and training requirements, therefore we can accommodate specific needs that are not met by the directly commissioned courses described above. Individual learners need to identify the course that meets their specific need.  They need to apply to the Training Hub to secure funding and once confirmed can apply directly to course provider to secure a place on the course.  See Process to Secure Funding.

Criteria for funding

To be eligible to be allocated funding, individual learners must:

• Be employed by a Cambridgeshire or Peterborough General Practice
• Ensure the course aligns with the needs of the Practice / Primary Care Network (PCN) and is relevant to their role
• Have approval of their line manager to attend the education or training
• Courses must be started by 1st March 2025

The Training Hub try to fund all education and training where it is clearly relevant to the individuals role. As there is limited funding available, applications will be reviewed on a first come basis.

Process to Secure Funding

• Identify the course you require.
• Complete an Application for Funding / Learning Contract and return to email: candptraininghub@nhs.net
• Once confirmation of funding allocation has been received, apply for the course to secure your place and invoice the training hub on receipt of payment for a contribution of up to £250 per person.

Shared Decision Making

Shared decision making (SDM) is a process by which people are supported to understand their options and are given the opportunity to consider relevant information that might influence their choice.

By 30 September 2022, a PCN must ensure all clinical staff complete the Personalised Care Institute’s 30-min e-learning refresher training for Shared Decision Making (SDM) conversations
