FINAL REMINDER
Skilled Worker Visa
Sponsorship of Newly Qualified IMG GPs
The Medical Workforce Team at NHSE/I Midlands continue to support GP Practices and International Management Graduate (IMG) GP trainees, enabling the recruitment and retention of newly qualified GPs via a Skilled Workers visa. This will help increase the GP workforce and ease pressure on existing GPs.
We are working collaboratively alongside Health Education England and with our Primary Care colleagues, Training Hubs, LMC, local VTS and GP practices to raise awareness of the Skilled Worker Programme to enable the recruitment of GPs following
completion of their UK GP training.
We support GP practices with the application process and help GP trainees seek employment to retain them in the Midlands as well as supporting other GP trainees out of area that would like to relocate to the Midlands.
Our aim is to get as many Practices in the Midlands to hold a Skilled Worker Sponsorship Licence. To generate interest from GP practices we are holding four drop-in sessions for GP practices to learn what support our team offers.
These will be held on:
Friday 20 May 2022 at 1300Hrs
Monday 23 May 2022 at 1300Hrs
Tuesday 31 May 2022 at 1030Hrs

Please take time to read all of the detail and complete the applications direct to the university and also complete an Expression of Interest Form to request the funding via the Staffordshire Training Hub at traininghub@gpfirst.net . Each of the forms are embedded in the Table below for your ease.
The Staffordshire Training Hub would like to hear from budding ACPs or those wishing to develop their GPN role as a Specialist Practitioner who are interested in this career development. You would need to meet the application requirements and be accepted by your chosen University.
Please see the embedded flyers which offer information for your employer and yourself about the ACP role and the SPQ course.
Please Note:
- The main reason for declined applications in the past has been linked to the lack of understanding and support of this role back in the Practice, so it’s so important that you have these discussions early on in the application process.
- It is worth contacting your chosen University prior to your full application, to discuss your personal development as there are a number of pathways available and it is vital you choose the best pathway for you and your Practice.

NEW e-LfH Programme on Congenital
Heart Disease Now Available
Health Education England e-Learning for Healthcare (HEE e-LfH) has worked in partnership with the North West, North Wales and The Isle of Man Congenital Heart Disease Network to develop a new e-learning programme on Congenital Heart Disease.
An Introduction to Congenital Heart Disease provides a basic but essential overview of this condition and highlights the advances in paediatric care that have resulted in increasing numbers of patients surviving into adult life.
The resource also describes the specialist services required to deliver care at every stage of life. It is aimed at all NHS clinical staff who are not specialists in this subject but may need to care for patients with congenital heart disease in their current role. The resource will also be useful for all other clinical colleagues to understand the implications of congenital heart disease, as patients will access other services within the NHS throughout their lifetime.
The programme, which takes approximately 2 hours to complete, consists of 3 modules:
An Introduction to Congenital Heart Disease
An Introduction to the Neonate or Infant with Congenital Heart Disease
Acute Presentations in Adult Congenital Heart Disease
On completion of the programme, learners will gain a good understanding of this type of heart disease and know how to contact their nearest network and helplines.
Experts from within the field of congenital heart disease developed the resource, endorsed by the British Congenital Cardiac Association (BCCA).
For more information and to access the programme,
please visit the Congenital Heart Disease programme page
