Midlands GP Assistant Programme
Empowering GP Assistants to transform Primary Care
Perfect for individuals aspiring into clinical support roles
The Midlands-wide General Practice Assistant (GPA) Programme is led by Lincolnshire Training Hub. They are now enrolling for the January (expression of interest (EOI) deadline Friday 6 February) and March (EOI deadline Wednesday 1 April) cohorts. Don't miss out on this opportunity as it may be the final fully funded cohorts if numbers remain low!
The GPA role continues to make a real difference in improving patient flow, reducing clinical pressure and strengthening access. It is ideal for Receptionists, Care Navigators, Healthcare Assistants, admin / patient-facing staff ready for development, or individuals aspiring to hybrid or clinical support roles.
