We are delighted to announce that the Kent and Medway Primary Care Training Hub is now open for Expressions of Interest from employers for fully funded (tuition fees, education grant & supervision grant) places for your employees on the Advanced Practice MSc September 2027 intake, funded by NHSE.

The closing date for employers is Monday 16th November 2026 at 8am 

Please keep in mind that requests will only be considered if there is a clearly identified workforce need, rather than individual CPD requests. Additionally, as the employer you must demonstrate how the employees will be supported to meet all four pillars of advanced practice: Education, Research, Leadership, and Clinical.

To assist you in completing the MS Forms request, you can view the Advancing Practice Website: https://advanced-practice.hee.nhs.uk/  Minimum standards for supervision – Advanced Practice Along with the attached relevant documents that will provide further guidance. 

Should you have any questions or require additional support, please do not hesitate to reach out to your local Primary Care Workforce Lead.
