Explanation:
Each Integrated Care System (ICS) across England has an appointed Training Hub - for NCL ICS, this is the NCL Training Hub. The Training Hub is a unique provider within NCL, having been contracted, following a procurement process, by NHS England Workforce, Training and Education Directorate (NHSE WT&E) to be the training body for North Central London ICS.

The NCL Training
Hub has an explicit remit, through its contract with NHSE WT&E to understand and respond to local system workforce challenges and, as part of this role, maintains established relationships with NCL GP practices, NCL PCNs, NCL GP Federations and the NCL GP Provider Alliance (GPPA).
