Booking Information
Ticket sales for all events close 2 weeks prior to the start of the session.
You will be asked to sign up to MedTribe if you would like to book a course. You will register once, and will be able to use the same account to book all future NEL Training Hub events with this account.
Signing up is completely free and only takes a few seconds. Need help? You can follow the step-by-step sign-up guide for support.
You will be informed by email if you are on the training or if you are on the waiting list. This is due to:
- The high volume of applications for some of the training, which comes in at a faster rate than can be effectively managed in real time.
- Incomplete or missing information that means your application will be rejected.
- Finding that you have applied for inappropriate training for your job role.
Preparing for the Training Session
- Only apply for training you are eligible for.
- Check you have the joining link a minimum of 48hrs before the start date and time.
- If you do not have a link – first check your junk email folder – then email nelondonicb.cpd@nhs.net.
- Complete any pre-training work you have been sent.
- If you are asked for an address for physical training materials, give your home address – they will not be posted to your work.
During the Training Session
- Login a minimum of 15 mins before the training session starts (then go to the loo and make a cuppa).
- Check you have a working camera and microphone, and in a place you can fully interact.
- Mobile phone use is not allowed – however some providers use them for interactive elements, such as quizzes.
Cancellation Policy

- If you book on training that is not appropriate for your job role, and try to attend – there will not be 2 chances if this is the case, you will be removed from all further training.

DNA Policy – What happens when you DNA
- 1st DNA: You and your Manager will receive an email informing you that you have DNA’d a pre-booked session without cancellation.
- 2nd DNA: You will automatically be removed from any further CPD training for the current financial year. You and your Manager will receive confirmation of this by email.
- You will have an opportunity to appeal, but please read the DNA Policy – Things that count as a DNA page first.
- If you have to cancel your place later than 5 full working days prior to the start of the session, please email nelondonicb.cpd@nhs.net explaining your exceptional circumstances, and these will be taken into consideration when deciding whether it counts as a DNA.
