Are you a healthcare professional currently delivering long term condition interventions within community or primary care-based settings? Are you interested in developing skills for the prevention, recognition, management, personalised care, prehabilitation, and rehabilitation for cardiovascular, respiratory, diabetes and stroke conditions? Are you developing interventions to support the NHS 10 Year Plan aspirations for example through neighbourhood health, prevention accelerators, community diagnostics etc.?

NHS England, Workforce Training and Education Programme recognises the role in providing access to high quality education and training for the multi-disciplinary generalist workforce that equips them to deliver ‘at home’ community and primary care based interventions to deliver NHS 10 Year Plan ambitions. Therefore, NHSE are undertaking a training grant process that builds on the successful CVD-R training grant pilot launched in 2024. 

The training grant process will offer training grants of up to £3,000 per applicant to enable healthcare professionals to access level 7 (postgraduate) courses offering advanced training in long-term conditions (either generalist or in a specific condition area across cardiovascular, respiratory, diabetes and stroke). Applicants will have the opportunity to apply for full or partial funding for courses relevant to delivering prevention, recognition, management, personalised care, prehabilitation or rehabilitation interventions.
