2024 NHS England Advanced Practice Funding Application - EOI Expressions of interest for 2024 applications for NHSE funding for trainee Advanced Practitioners (NHSE Approved MSc Advanced Practice courses) are invited. Employers can apply for up to 3 years funding (£8600 annually) to supervise and support trainees through the process. In addition, for those applying for apprenticeships, practices can apply for the Government Apprenticeship Levy to cover course fees. Further information can be found by visiting the South West Regional Faculty for Advanced Practice website . Trainees undertaking an approved MSc Advanced Practice course will need to meet the admission criteria for their chosen University and have employer support and an Advanced Practice role in place once qualified. For general practices in Somerset the applications are co-ordinated by Catherine Hayden, Somerset Training Hub Advanced Practice lead. Managers/Supervisors of prospective trainees please contact catherine.hayden@nhs.net to express interest or with any questions. Continuing trainees previously in receipt of funding will be contacted to review their applications in due course.
