What information and authorisation you will need to complete an application

Before you complete your funding application please note you will need to ensure you have the following information and authorisation:

• Nursing, Midwifery & Allied Health Professionals - will need authorisation from their Divisional Education/Professional Lead and their Line Manager. You will need to input their name and e-mail address on request.
• Your staff number (you can find this on your payslip – 8 digits long)

What happens after you submit your application

You, your line manager and, if applicable, your Divisional Education/Professional Lead will get an e-mail confirmation of your application.

Your e-mail will contain clear instructions about how you now need to register for your place with the course provider.

Details will be:

Internal courses delivered by those who also have a booking & payment portal system e.g. DREEAM/ICE/EMRAD/Resuscitation/Quality Improvement – you will automatically be booked directly onto the course on completion of their funding application form.  You will receive a confirmation and a Booking ID to state you have a place on the course. Reporting Details will follow closer to the course date applied for.

Internal Courses delivered by those whom do not have their own booking & payment portal – you will require you to contact the NUH Course Provider directly to check if space is available and book onto a course

External Courses – You will require the staff member to register directly with the course provider, please be aware some of these courses will have application deadlines and will need to get registered as quickly as possible, if you require confirmation of the Purchase Order number please contact the Funding Application team - funding.application@nuh.nhs.uk

Can’t find where to register onto your external course? - Please visit the course list on the Funding Application Portal and if the course you want to go on is blue and underlined this gives you the option to click onto the course and it takes you to the course page where you should be directed to book your place.

What happens if I cannot get on the course I have applied for funding for?

Please contact the Funding Application team funding.application@nuh.nhs.uk. We will then withdraw your Funding application and cancel any Purchase Order Numbers raised.

Please ensure you have updated your Line Manager / Education Divisional/Professional lead where applicable also.

What happens once I have attended the course?

Please contact the Funding Application team funding.application@nuh.nhs.uk. We can update your funding application record as complete and any outstanding fees for your course can be released to the company / department. (Funding may be released prior to your course if requested)

Who to contact for further help with your application

Please contact the Funding Application Team at funding.application@nuh.nhs.uk if you have any questions or issues regarding your funding application.

What to do if the course you want to apply for is not on the portal?

The system is new and, although we have attempted to put all courses currently available onto the portal, we do understand that new courses are developing all the time. Therefore if you do have a course that is not on the portal but you know it is available and accepting students for the current academic year, please send the following information to the Funding Application team at funding.application@nuh.nhs.uk
