The majority of Post registration qualifications are funded through the
Strategic Service Improvement Funds that are managed by Devon PCT with
allocations provided by the SHA. As such we get an allocation of
undergraduate modules which our staff can apply for (and we manage the
applications), but we are not responsible for the budget. Further details
of the community budget and allocations across all the trusts in Devon
would be available from Devon PCT or the SHA. However, the cost of
releasing staff to attend courses as well as the cost of travel is borne
by local managers rather than a central budget.

In addition to this, staff are entitled to apply for funding for other
courses and conferences which may include those leading to a
qualification, however, we do not specifically require that every funding
application leads to a qualification.

The SHA has also part-funded 10 places on an OU diploma course for staff
within the trust in 2009/10.

If you require further information, please let me know

Kind Regards
