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 .

The South West Learning Disabilities Collaborative (SWLDC) invites you to two upcoming webinars on April 29th, 2024, and June 17th, 2024. The sessions aim to provide valuable insights into learning disabilities, catering to both primary care staff and clinical professionals. Participants can expect discussions on various topics, including annual health checks, reasonable adjustments, and identifying deterioration. These webinars serve as a platform for sharing experiences, ideas, and learning to improve outcomes for people with learning disabilities. The SWLDC, covering the entire South West of England, addresses the significant health disparities faced by individuals with learning disabilities. Originating from the West of England Learning Disabilities Collaborative (LDC), the SWLDC builds on previous successes, focusing on tools like the National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2) and promoting preventive measures such as annual health checks and flu vaccinations.
