Legal Justification

Each Integrated Care System (ICS) across England has an appointed Training Hub - for NCL ICS, this is the NCL Training Hub. The Training Hub is a unique provider within NCL, having been contracted, following a procurement process, by NHS England Workforce, Training and Education Directorate (NHSE WT&E) to be the training body for North Central London ICS. There is an expectation that they deliver training to general practice, where there is a need for this to be embedded within the wider system. Training Hubs are run by a clinical leadership and management supported by a network of primary care staff with education and training professionals based in the community, working closely with general practice, PCNs and ICS to support workforce priorities and tackle health inequalities. The NCL Training Hub has an explicit remit, through its contract with NHSE WT&E to understand and respond to local system workforce challenges and, as part of this role, maintains established relationships with NCL GP practices, NCL PCNs, NCL GP Federations and the NCL GP Provider Alliance (GPPA). North Central London (NCL) ICB intend to directly award to NCL Training Hub (provider) a contract to deliver non-clinical services to support general practice workforce development and transformation across North Central London. This will include continued delivery of a multi-year, nationally funded General Practice Fellowship and Mentoring Programme, which is funded through annual allocation of System Development Funding. Additionally, a programme of training for NCL general practices and Primary Care Networks.
