3. National News Professional Development Programmes Nursing and Midwifery Programme Thank you to all our colleagues who prioritised their applications for these programmes at pace. We have informed leadership leads for each organisation which of their applicants have secured places and offer letters will be going out to applicants this week. All applicants for the Jenner and Mary Seacole Programmes who met the criteria have secured places. Those not allocated a place on the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson and Bevan programmes are on a waiting list and we are investigating other funding options - to fund our current waiting list we need to find £1.2 million so it may take a little time...
