Bedfordshire Hospitals is committed to developing staff to support the work in current roles, future roles and also personal growth. 

There is a large number of in house training that us run by in house experts or has been purchased to support your development. 

There are times where staff may require an external course that requires funding and great news this is available. 

​

Departmental managers should complete an annual Training Needs Analysis (TNA) and submit to the Non-Medical Education Team, all courses are reviewed and the outcome of funding allocation is communicated to the manager who submitted the TNA. 

​

If you are looking for course funding within the financial year but the following must take place:

​

1. Your line manager must agree that this is an appropriate course for you and you have negotiated the time to attend. 

2. All your statutory and mandatory training must be up to date.

3. You must complete a funding request form to apply for course fees (this form must be submitted to the CPD team a minimum of 3 weeks before the course start date or application deadline.)

4. If your funding request form is accepted you will then be required to sign a learning contract*

​

*Please note, you may be asked to apply for/ book your own course. You will be informed of this via email once funding has been arranged. All forms must be completed in full. Any incomplete forms will not be processed.
