Training Hubs

Training Hubs are integral to NHS England’s Workforce, Training and Education directorate’s core purpose of supporting the delivery of excellent healthcare and health improvement to patients and the public. They achieve this by ensuring the primary care workforce is trained in the right numbers, with the necessary skills, NHS values, and behaviours, at the right time and in the right place.

Your go-to resource for primary care workforce education and development 

Training Hubs support the recruitment, retention, and return of primary care staff. They work to meet local needs and offer valuable resources and guidance for individuals, employers, and primary care networks (PCNs).

Every practice and PCN has access to a Training Hub. There are 42 Training Hubs at Integrated Care System (ICS) level, with additional locality hubs helping to link practices and PCNs. These hubs bring together education and training resources from NHS organisations, community providers and local authorities.

How Training Hubs support the workforce

Training Hubs are led by a clinical leader and a manager, supported by a network of primary care staff and education professionals in the community. They collaborate closely with PCNs and ICSs to address workforce priorities, tackle health inequalities, and ensure the local primary care workforce can meet patient and population demand.
