Welcome to Oxford University Hospitals (OUH) NHS Foundation Trust’s Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Hub. The CPD Hub enables you to review a range of education opportunities available to non-medical staff. This is designed to support you to make more informed decisions about your professional development. The number of education providers and courses showing on the Hub will grow over time but being hosted in one place will increasingly enable you to compare and contrast education opportunities best suited to meet your needs.
The education leads within each Directorate are able to use the CPD Hub to request funding for courses on behalf of staff members, drawing on budgets allocated by the Divisional Education Leads. Funding for programmes follows the study leave policy with final approvals being managed and coordinated by the corporate Practice Development & Education team.
Workforce development funding for CPD is split into a number of separate funding streams including a central CPD fund, departmental funds and charitable funds: Irrespective of the funding source all CPD funding requests should be identified and approved using this hub. This will enable both provision and funding to be readily reported on across the Trust.
We recommend that you speak with your line manager and/or education team for further advice on professional development opportunities and career pathways. The help page provides useful contact details, links to detailed information about the funding process for OUH staff, and the current recommended deadlines for applications.
