Health Education Derbyshire Training Hub

Training hubs started out in the East Midlands approximately 3 years ago when they were called Community Education Provider Networks (CEPNs), commissioned by Health Education England (HEE). HEE’s idea was a simple one – if more pre-registration medical students and nursing students had placements in primary care then more of them would look for a career in primary care when they graduated. So, HEE invited expressions of interest from groups of practices to make that happen and the first CEPNs were born! A little later HEE realised CEPN wasn’t the catchiest of names for these new organisations, so the name was officially changed to Training Hubs.
