If you´re employed by the NHS in the East Midlands then you may be eligible for fee-free access to our LBR modules and/or programmes. You´ll need to supply evidence of approval from your line manager and Trust Education Lead when you apply.

We have CPD modules at undergraduate and postgraduate levels (levels 6 and 7), which have all been tailored to meet the needs of practitioners and managers working within the health and social care sectors.
