WHAT WE OFFER
The Nottinghamshire Alliance Training Hub (NATH) offers a variety of learning and development opportunities for the primary and community care workforce in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.
As a Training Hub, we have six core functions which were identified by Health Education England (HEE). These are centred on placements, workforce planning, recruitment, new roles, retention and place-based tariffs.
