CPD Funding Opportunities
Access grants to support the cost of your training and development
You've found a course but need funding to book on?
Through CPD Funding we can pay up to £333 for Nursing and Allied Health Professional (AHP) roles to attend training, such as short courses, conferences, and university level modules.
We can fund other Primary Care roles, except GPs, with Workforce Development Funding (subject to NHS England grants).

What roles are within Nursing and AHPs?
Within Primary Care, CPD Funding can be requested by:
Advanced Practitioners
Dieticians
Nurse Dispensers
Nurse Locums
Nurse Specialists
Nursing Partners
Nursing Associates
Occupational Therapists
Paramedics
Physiotherapists
Podiatrists
Practice Nurses
This includes Trainees of the above roles. Full and part-time staff are eligible for the same amount. Staff can move organisations within the NHS and retain their funding. It is not available for those working in social care, local government or sectors outside the NHS.
What are the terms and conditions?
By submitting a funding request, you are agreeing to several terms to obtain the grant, including course commitment, approval from your employer, keeping us updated, and more. Failure to comply with all the terms can result in your employer being invoiced to cover the cost of the training.
When will NATH know what training funding is available?
NHS England usually tells us between 1 April and 30 June. As soon as we are notified we will update our website and promote the funding opportunities via our regular communication channels. Please note that education grants are subject to change.
Can I submit a group request rather than multiple individual requests?
Yes! You can request funding for several team members to attend the same course. Download our template form and populate the details for each individual, and then submit that document alongside the course details via our group funding request form.
Why are GPs excluded from CPD/WD Funding?
We are governed by NHS England on how grants, such as CPD and Workforce Development Funding, can be allocated and they have specified eligible roles. If you are a GP and would like advice on your career development, you can chat with the Phoenix Programme.
How does the training get paid?
After your application has been approved you will need to book onto the training course. It can be paid in two ways:
You ask the training provider to invoice us directly
Your employer pays for the course and then invoices us for reimbursement
Invoices can take up to 28 days to process from date sent to us. We do not raise Purchase Orders (POs). The invoice will need to include the following information:
Funding request ID number
Name of learner
Course title
Course start date
Course cost
Payment details
Please ensure your invoices are addressed to us as follows:
Nottinghamshire Alliance Training Hub
NEMS Community Benefit Services Ltd
Platform One
Station Street
Nottingham
NG2 3AJ
If the address does not match the above, we will need to send it back to you/your organisation to re-issue which will delay payment. To help with this, we have created templates you can download and use.
