Health Education England changed the way SSPRD funding is now accessed, this now means that you will need to secure signatures and support from your immediate line manager or designated supervisor and the nominated SSPRD Lead for your Trust area or CCG before submitting your application to the University. Please see the key points when applying for SSPRD funding below:

• You MUST have page 1 countersigned by your manager/supervisor
• You MUST have page 2 countersigned by your nominated SSPRD lead
• ALL sections on page 2 MUST be completed for a place to be offered and funding applied
• We can ONLY accept funding applications for service providers within the West Yorkshire & Harrogate District. If you fall outside of this area you or your practice will have to pay the course fee.
• For all GP surgeries and practices within West Yorkshire & Harrogate you will need to send your application forms to tpc.traininghub@nhs.net to be signed.
