HEE are also expecting to implement a new rule regarding beneficiaries of their training year funding. We recommend you read this if you plan to apply to future trainings. Applicants should be aware that individuals who commence an NHSE-funded course listed on the webpage below will normally be required to wait two years from the date of their qualifying exam board before they can start another NHSE-funded training programme.

Young people need to be at the heart of all our service design and were committed to making sure young people are able to get help now when they first reach out for it, at the point of need rather than availability.
