Subsidised Booking Options
Wessex LMCs hold a number of funds for different organisations, specifically for training purposes. By using these funds, many of our 'members' are able to access training without direct recourse to Practice Funds. It is important that you select the appropriate funding option in the booking process, so that we can assign your booking to the correct funding stream, and here is some guidance to help you decide.
All GPs and Members of Staff working within GP Practices in the Wessex LMCs' catchment area
Please use this option if you are working in a Practice in the Wessex LMC catchment area and do not fit into one of the other options on offer. This option may, or may not, have a cost attached.
BaNES Staff
Bath & North East Somerset (BaNES) Practices have given Wessex LMCs some of their training budget, to be used for their staff (not GPs) only. To access this funding you must be working in a Practice in Bath or North East Somerset and not be a GP.
BSW Staff - Clinical
We are delighted that, thanks in part to the BSW (BaNES, Swindon & Wiltshire) Training Hub, and part the NHSE Investment in Continual Professional Development, certain eligible roles such as Nurses and Allied Health Professionals, working in Swindon and Wiltshire Practices, are able to attend this course fully funded. Please see the full list of Included and Excluded staff in the table below. Please do not use this option if: 1) You are in a role 'Excluded from the Scheme' (see table below) 2) You are a GP. 3) You work in any role, except GP, in Bath or North East Somerset; please use the 'BaNES Staff' option above instead.
You can see more information about the scheme by clicking on this link: BSW Eligible Staff @ August 2022
Hampshire and Isle of Wight - Nurses and Allied Health Professionals (AHPs)
We are delighted that NHS South East have agreed to fund this course for all members of the Nursing Team and AHPs working in Practices in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. To access this funding you must be a member of the Nursing Team or an AHP working in a Practice in Hampshire (excluding North East Hants) or the Isle of Wight.
It may be worth asking your training hubs if they will fund it for you if you are in Dorset, North East Hants, or Farnham.
Non Members
Please use this option if you are not working in a Practice in the Wessex LMCs catchment area.
NB: Unfortunately, some of your colleagues have previously booked places and not attended, preventing others from doing so. It must be stressed that the above options are not ‘FREE’ they are funded from NHS monies, all of which must be accounted for. If, therefore, you select one of these subsidised options, and do not attend, or fail to cancel more than 2 weeks in advance, you will be charged the full member delegate fee. To cancel your booking please email: Lead@wessexlmcs.org.uk at least 14 days before the event date.
