Overview
In accordance with the Care Act 2014, NHS England is responsible for the leadership of all healthcare education and training for those employed by the NHS and for those seeking NHS employment. NHS England also has statutory obligations for the quality of the services delivered for which it funds for the safety and protection of learners and service users.
The NHS education funding agreement is the formal mechanism for the relationship between NHS England and providers. The 2024-27 NHS education funding agreement will replace the current 2021-24 NHS education contract ending on 31 March 2024.
The funding agreement supports the education and training of future workforce activities listed as part of the annually published Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) education and training guide and NHS England education funding guide.
