🧭 Navigating Care with Confidence, Led by Sarah & Minali
A standout moment from our Unleash Your Potential events came from Sarah Partridge and Minali Gupta, two brilliant members of the NATH team, who delivered an engaging workshop on Care Navigation.
Their session helped delegates strengthen one of the most vital skills in primary care, guiding patients to the right place, first time.
From understanding patient needs to using triage pathways more effectively, Sarah and Minali equipped attendees with practical tools to support smoother, safer patient journeys.

One of the highlights from our Unleash Your Potential events was a powerful workshop delivered by Michele Tuttle, our Learning & Development Project Officer here at NATH.
Michele’s Time Management session gave delegates practical, actionable tools to take control of their workload, from prioritisation techniques to managing pressure and creating space for what truly matters. Her calm, supportive approach made the session both engaging and immediately useful for everyone who attended.

Training Hubs are integral to Health Education England’s core purpose of supporting the delivery of excellent healthcare and health improvement to patients and the public through ensuring the primary care workforce of today and tomorrow are trained in the right numbers, have the necessary skills, NHS values and behaviours at the right time and in the right place as described.
Through their activities, they support the delivery of HEE objectives and priorities as described in the Mandate and the HEE workforce plan: “Framework 15”. In addition, they are ideally placed to work within the NHS’ newly emerging system architecture, and support delivery of the NHS Long Term Plan.
HEE conceived the development of Training Hubs with a national implementation programme starting in 2015. Their effectiveness at delivering key educational and workforce programmes to support primary care was acknowledged in an external audit of effectiveness commissioned by HEE. However, there was noted variation in priorities, activities and maturity of the organisations. Consequently, the consistency of activities and the roll out of effective/ innovative programmes has been challenging. It was also noted that a lack of consistent funding was threatening the sustainability of the Training Hubs and exacerbating the noted variation.
In seeking to address the recommendations of the audit of effectiveness, Training Hubs, together with the HEE Primary Care Team, reviewed the core functions and contributed to the development of a common operating framework. The common operating framework is designed to enhance and provide assurance with respect to their functions, governance structure, stakeholder relationships and operating model. In doing this piece of work we have worked in close collaboration with our primary care colleagues in NHSE/I.
Core Principles
At the inception of Training Hubs, a set of guiding national principles was supported by HEE, NHSE/I, the RCGP and the BMA GP Committee. These have continued to be reviewed in light of the development of HEE and NHS priorities, and underpin the programme going forward.
Training Hubs are accountable to HEE through Primary Care Schools and the Postgraduate Dean with respect to educational governance and quality management of the clinical learning environment, and the organisation of clinical placements for work undertaken under HEE’s direction. Through HEE they are also accountable to the HEE led National Training Hub Oversight Board with respect to educational governance and quality management of the clinical learning environment, and the organisation of clinical placements for work undertaken under HEE’s direction.
Training Hubs are jointly accountable for workstreams developed in collaboration between HEE and NHSE/I nationally and to Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships (STPs)/ Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) for workstreams developed locally to address identified local workforce priorities.
However, the potential for Training Hubs to develop further is considerable: they are ideally positioned to enable “place-based” delivery of education, training and workforce development of the wider NHS primary care workforce at undergraduate and postgraduate levels and at all stages of a NHS professional’s career in primary care. Through a “place-based” approach and the management of educational tariff, Training Hubs can positively influence workforce “investment decisions” and the delivery of population healthcare needs to help tackle observed healthcare inequalities.
Existing Core Functions of Training Hubs
1. The development and expansion of capacity of high-quality learning placements at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, including provision, training and development of faculty of multi-professional educators.
2. Supporting better understanding of workforce planning needs and their realisation across the STP/ICS and at primary care network level, across health and social care.
3. Supporting the development and realisation of educational programmes to develop the primary/ community care workforce at scale to address identified population health needs or support service re-design and delivery of integrated care.
Training Hubs – The Offer
By March 2020, all Primary Care Networks will have access to the resources of a Training Hub.
By March 2020, all Primary Care Networks will be supported through the Training Hub programme to develop and maximise their teaching and learning environment: improving overall capacity.
Recognising the variation that exists across Training Hubs in order to fully realise delivery of the described core activities by March 2020, an accurate assessment of “readiness” has been undertaken through a self assessment maturity matrix.
The overarching offer that Training Hubs are expected to provide is detailed in the Maturity Matrix (Appendix 1) which includes expectations across the varying Training Hub workstreams.
Whilst the Maturity Matrix document describes the core expected functions, this does not limit a Training Hub, both now and in the future, to expand their functions and adapt to support changes in both Postgraduate Medical and Dental training, the delivery of integrated care across existing organisational boundaries, or support new as yet un-envisaged roles.
Core Functions from April 2020
The contribution Training Hubs have made, particularly in responding to local future workforce needs through the expansion of training placements, has been acknowledged: such that they are now included in the Long Term Plan and referenced in the new GP contract. HEE and NHSE will be working in collaboration to develop shared understanding of how these functions are delivered and what level of support is required.
It has been noted that there has been variation in both their levels of maturity and adoption of workstreams. The significant investment from HEE requires the appropriate governance and accountability and evidence of delivery.
With a significant investment in Training Hubs, their existing functions will be built on to provide a consistent England wide offer to include:
Further development and expansion of placement capacity to create innovative and high-quality clinical placements for all learners to meet the workforce needs of “the place” in line with the Long Term Plan: thus, maximising the effective use of educational resources across the network.
In addition to the continuation of the role in supporting understanding of workforce planning, assisting in the co-ordination and realisation of the health and social care workforce across the STP/ ICS system.
Support recruitment of the primary care workforce through:
Developing, expanding and enhancing recruitment of multi-professional educators together with developing their capabilities to support the delivery of high-quality clinical learning placements and high-quality teaching and learning environments.
Supporting the development and realisation of educational programmes to develop the primary/ community care workforce at scale to address identified population health needs, support service re-design and the delivery of integrated care (through, for example, rotational placements and integrated educational programmes of learning).
4. Enable, support and embed “new roles” within primary care.
5. Supporting the retention of the primary care workforce across all key transitions
including promoting primary care as an employment destination to students, through
schools and higher education institutions.
6. Enable both workforce planning intentions and placement co-ordination through the
active management of clinical placement tariffs – moving towards “place-based tariffs”.
