This funding will support our drive to make the NHS the best place to work, retain our nursing workforce by supporting long-term career progression, and improve patient care.
Funding includes a £1,000 personal development budget for every nurse, midwife and allied health professional to support their personal learning and development needs over three years. Wider education and training budgets will also get a funding boost to support delivery of the NHS Long Term Plan.

Please ensure your OVMs are using the exchange daily and are aware of the user guidance available to support them in this.
