NHS Partnerships
Supporting workforce development across the NHS
Supporting workforce development has never been more important. As NHS organisations continue to respond to increasing service demand, providing flexible opportunities for professional development can help attract, retain and develop healthcare professionals across your workforce.
The Learna NHS Partner Network has been developed to support NHS trusts, health boards and other healthcare organisations through flexible postgraduate education, continuing professional development (CPD) opportunities and collaborative workforce initiatives.
Through fully online, university-validated postgraduate programmes, healthcare professionals can continue learning part-time alongside practice, enabling organisations to invest in staff development without disrupting service delivery.
