We are so proud that the Training Hub General Practice Nurse (GPN) Development Fellowship was shortlisted for a General Practice Award for "Education Programme/Provider of the Year". We sadly didn't win on the night, but the team involved attended and a hreat time was had by all.

The GPN Development Fellowship is a targeted initiative designed to enhance the retention of experienced GPNs within West Yorkshire. By addressing key challenges such as professional isolation and limited peer support, the fellowship fosters a more connected and supported nursing community. It offers structured networking opportunities through locality breakfast meetings and a regional conference, providing safe spaces for GPNs to discuss career progression and share experiences. Additionally, participants have access to personalised coaching sessions with experienced primary care nurses, facilitating individual development and well-being. The fellowship also supports service improvement projects within PCNs, enabling GPNs to engage in meaningful initiatives that benefit their careers, practices, and patients. By investing in the professional growth and satisfaction of GPNs, the fellowship contributes to improved retention rates, ensuring a stable and experienced nursing workforce in West Yorkshire.
