Our Skills, Education and Training (SET) Hub sites are where you will find our dedicated Clinical Practice Development Leads and their team of students and trainees. The SET Hubs are based in our health board practices across North Wales and offer a supportive learning environment.
The SET Hubs have been established to support the development of skills and to support the education and training of the multidisciplinary workforce and the next generation of clinical practitioners.
The SET Hubs will support students, trainees and experienced practitioners to develop their primary care skills and knowledge.
In addition to offering student placements, the Hubs will also host fixed term Advanced Clinical Practice training roles.
As well as supporting the multidisciplinary workforce, the Hubs will be home to GP Trainees and Foundation Doctors offering a truly interprofessional learning environment.
Academy Trainees work alongside a team of Clinical Supervisors to ensure that current and future clinicians are supported to consolidate their formal education pathways with real life clinical practice.
If you or a member of your team would benefit from support with skills development, education, training, or supervision, please complete our Skills, Education and Training request form.
While we aim to accommodate all requests, please note that support is subject to the availability of our Practice Development Leads and cannot be guaranteed.
