Who we are
Background
The HWE Training Hub is commissioned by Health Education England (HEE) and has the aim to “ensure the primary care workforce of today and tomorrow are trained in the right numbers, have the necessary skills, NHS values and behaviours at the right time and in the right place as described”. Training hubs are designed to meet the educational needs of the multi-disciplinary primary care team, and bring together NHS organisations, community providers and local authorities.
The Areas we Cover:
The Hertfordshire and West Essex Training Hub covers the following CCG areas:
East and North Hertfordshire
South and West Hertfordshire
West Essex
Within this area, there are over 140 GP surgeries and around 30 Primary Care Networks. We support all staff working within primary care including practice managers, GPs, administrative staff, allied health professionals and general practice nurses, as well as supporting the development of new roles such as social prescribers and clinical pharmacists.
The Team:
Our team is made up of the Head of Workforce as well as Clinical Leads for GP, Nursing and Pharmacists. The team is then divided into two operational programmes: Training and Education and Recruitment and Retention. Each team has a project manager, two project support officers and an administrator. Together we design, implement and assess the impact of our training and development and collaborate with the wider Primary Care teams.
