Our Mission
Learn who we are, our shared vision, mission and values
Sarah Layzell
Chair of NATH Board
The Nottinghamshire Alliance Training Hub (NATH) launched back in April 2020. This coincided with the start of the covid pandemic, a time that has been challenging for all the NHS workforce.
Our mission is to make the Training Hub your ‘go to’ place for any information about education and training for all the professional groups that make up the Primary Care workforce.
Our aim is to work with all partners and stakeholders in the area to enhance training and education for our Nottinghamshire and Nottingham colleagues.
We work in partnership with many local organisations to address local training needs. We bring together education and training resources from NHS organisations, community providers as well as local authorities.
It is always worth taking the time to learn what NATH has to offer, whether you are an individual, employer or part of the PCN. It is with pleasure we present to you the latest NATH Strategy 2025-27.
We are your local Primary and Integrated Care Training Hub for Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. We are a non-profit, funded by NHS England and the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care System (ICS).
Our shared vision

Our mission
Making Nottingham and Nottinghamshire a great place to work by growing an inclusive partnership and facilitating evidence-based education, training and development for the primary and community care workforce.

Our core values
Visible
We want everyone in Notts Primary Care to know who we are, what we offer and how to contact us.
They should recognise and access our services as their first port of call for their education, training and development needs. We have an active presence in the spaces where our service users are.
Impactful
We make measurable, positive improvements to patient care by upskilling and supporting Notts Primary Care.
Our strategy and SMART objectives relate directly to fulfilling the training needs and priorities of individuals, teams and the System. We continuously evaluate our work to respond to change and develop effective, tailored services.
Innovative
We continuously network, learn and take risks to provide engaging delivery methods and creative solutions for Notts Primary Care.
We encourage them to explore and do quality improvement projects and research. We have courage and confidence to challenge the norm and try ideas, utilising and valuing our uniqueness, skills and technology.
Informative
We use our expertise and knowledge to provide Notts Primary Care with access to the right information, in the right place and at the right time.
We keep ourselves up-to-date with local, regional, and national news to share reliable and relevant development opportunities across various internal and external channels.
Inclusive
We celebrate and actively engage, support and develop all Notts Primary Care individualisms.
We challenge anyone when we feel there’s exclusion or barriers to remove. We recognise, listen to and learn about people’s differences and needs with respectful curiosity and keep adjusting our processes for easy access and equity.
Responsive
We proactively stay ahead of change and quickly adapt our offers to meet the evolving needs of Notts Primary Care.
We ensure our SMART development plans effectively address these demands and that people know we listened to requests and took action.
