The DES Specification Contract- Training Funding!!

Leadership and Management Training Funding

The 2024-25 PCN DES contract specification allows for a Leadership and Management payment, but this is
now combined into the core PCN Funding. Please click here to read the updated DES contract in full.

What does this mean?
It means that practices can utilise the PCN Funding payment to have training through Dispex for Leadership
& Management training for your Dispensary! Either as an individual practice or at PCN level.

4 Steps to Free Training from Your PCN via Dispex

  1. Identify a leadership & management training requirement.
  2. Find a relevant and suitable Dispex course- such as our 7-course leadership & management package
    (online learner-led) or our dispensary management profitability review (on-site training visit).
  3. Contact your PCN Clinical Director or Lead and provide them with your training request and our course
    information, plus our email training@dispex.net . Practices can use this TEMPLATE LETTER to
    formalise their request with their PCN. It’s important to acknowledge that Dispex bears no
    responsibility for the decisions made by NHS England regarding funding payments. Each
    PCN functions differently with varying criteria for processing funding requests.
  4. You will receive your training confirmation directly from Dispex. Please note, Dispex holds no responsibility
    for NHS England’s decision on payments. Each PCN functions differently with varying criteria for
    processing funding requests.
