Practice learning contracting

The NHS Education Funding Agreement replaces the 2021/24 NHS Education Contract, covering both education and placement providers from 1 April 2024 until 31 March 2027.

For any private, independent and voluntary organisations that are not signed up to the NHS Education Funding Agreement, within NHS Courses undertaken at Leeds Beckett University:

A Service Level Agreement for School of Health Allied Health Professions course placements and/or Service Level Agreement for student nursing placements will be set up.

Please note: to help ease capacity on placement providers, the attached agreement is agreed format between Leeds Beckett University, University of Leeds, and Leeds Trinity University.

To confirm, this is a tri-university agreement with the organisation and the University of Leeds, Leeds Beckett University and Leeds Trinity University to facilitate student placements from our various nursing programmes.

  • All queries regarding payments, individual students and any other queries outside of the SLA, should be sent to the relevant university
  • There is a separate similar agreement for nursing only
  • If organisations provide placements for other programmes at one or more of the universities, a separate SLA will be shared to cover these placements but in the agreed format
  • NHS England Education and Training tariff information can be found on the 2024 to 2025 guidance

For Non-NHS courses undertaken within the School of Health, Placement Providers will be requested to complete at a minimum a Health and Safety and Indemnity Form.
