The Kingston Training Hub (formerly CEPN) has been established since November 2015, is hosted by the Kingston GP Federation (GP Chambers) and operates on behalf of Health Education England South London (HEEsL).
Training Hubs are seen as the delivery vehicle for Primary Care workforce transformation, and HEE describes them as being able to ‘provide an opportunity to meet the educational needs of the multi-disciplinary primary care team, bringing together NHS organisations, community, local authorities and education establishments.’
The core functions of the Training Hub include; education and training co-ordination, placement facilitation, delivery of workforce transformation initiatives such as testing new roles and providing development opportunities for the Primary Care workforce.
