Post-CCT Overview
There are two different post CCT fellowships available.
Health Education England has offered a number of fellowships that practices can apply to host. They offer 1-2 sessions a week of funded time for education and a bursary of £5000 for educational costs. If a practice is successful in bidding to host a fellow they can appoint as a salaried or partnership post to a GP within 5 years or receiving their CCT. This year’s fellowships will start in April 2021. There is information about the 2020/21 HEE fellows on our website, including some available posts:

We will let recently qualified GPs and those due to qualify about the 2021/22 programme know more.
HEE also runs a Higher Professional Education (HPE) programme which is available to all GPs in the first 5 years – including locums as well as those in salaried posts, and is based around virtual half day sessions over a range of days - sessions are recorded. HEE also runs the Professional Education and Development (PED) which is an intensive programme over 2 years which is accredited at MSc level by the University of Central Lancashire (UCLAN). This is appropriate for GPs in a salaried or partnership post. The accreditation by UCLAN can link with Educational Supervisor academic accreditation towards a postgraduate Diploma or Masters. For information on either of these courses contact primarycareschool.nw@hee.nhs.uk
The second fellowships are funded by NHS England, they are available for newly qualified GPs within 12 months of CCT who are in a substantive post - salaried or partnership, and offer catching, mentoring and educational support. They are organised by the training hubs - contact details to find out more about these are below - if the links don’t take you to the right place then contact the training hub directly - your practice manager should be able to give you details:
