SUTTON TRAINING HUB
Working today for a brighter, and better tomorrow
SUTTON TRAINING HUB WELCOMES YOU
The Sutton Training Hub is one of six Training Hubs nestled within South West London (SWL).
Funded by Health Education England (HEE) and NHS England (NHSE) Training Hubs are tasked with supporting workforce development and transformation across primary and community care.
Training Hubs are aligned to geographical regions and work collaboratively with stakeholders across the region. These include providers of health & care services, education providers, charity & voluntary organisations.
Training Hubs started in 2014/15 to support a growing recognition of the need for a co-ordinated approach to primary and community care workforce development and transformation.

COLLABORATIVE WORKING
Whilst each Training Hub retains its independence, a key theme is working together and 'doing things once' where it makes sense to do so.
Each Training Hub may lead on a particular project across SWL on behalf of the commissioners; HEE, NHSE and the SWL CCGs.
Whilst Training Hubs are focused on supporting staff already working in Primary Care, an additional strand of our work involves promoting Primary Care careers to the 'future workforce'.
As part of the 'widening participation' agenda, Training Hubs are champions to help raise awareness of the 100's of roles and entry routes into particular career pathways; including apprenticeships.
We attend school career fairs across the borough to provide up to date information about the wide range of careers available.
We work with HEE and universities to facilitate multi-professional placements in Primary Care. Primary Care placements and rotations across Primary Care, provides our future workforce with a thorough and quality learning experience.
A core priority for the Training Hub is to support continuing personal and professional development of staff working in Primary Care. This includes working with our Primary Care Networks (PCNs) to support aspects of workforce planning and developing individual or PCN training plans.
We support the SWL CCGs to deliver the GP Forward View priorities which include GP Retention, GP Resilience, Primary Care at Scale and Fellowships programme.
