Notts Primary Care Training Needs Analysis (TNA) 

Shape your professional development 

We design the training you need for great patient care 

Your feedback is vitally important to shape the fully funded and subsidised training we can offer you. It helps us plan our Notts Primary Care Training for the year ahead. 
 
We provide summaries of TNA results which can be tailored based on role, Primary Care Network (PCN), locality and more. Anyone is welcome to submit a data request. 
Our TNA runs annually over Jan - Feb and is open to all individuals (clinical and non-clinical) working in Notts Primary Care. We greatly appreciate everyone who participates. 
We write new CPD training programmes 
We plan how we allocate CPD funding 
We commission training and subscriptions 
We provide evidence to bid for more funding 
We support local PCNs' workforce planning
