Upcoming information sessions, webinars, and events
As you are already aware the responsibility of commissioning for advancing practice has transferred to the Midlands Regional Faculty. As a result, we will be making some adjustments and changes to the existing processes for 2025/2026 onwards. These minor changes are to ensure continued accurate reporting, accountability, and compliance in relation to NHS England Advancing Practice funding.
To support these changes, we will be holding information sessions where we will outline the process and confirm timelines. We will then aim to open the funding window shortly after these sessions.

The information sessions will take place for Advanced Practice Leads / Training Hub Leads / nominated points of contacts. If you are an Advanced Practice Lead, Training Hub lead or person responsible for Advancing practice within your organisation and you haven’t received information about these sessions please let us know.
