Please be aware that you will receive an automated confirmation message screen to let you know that you have submitted the Form – you are advised to save your response, as this will email you a copy of your submitted Form, with the date you have applied for. This is not confirmation that you have a place on the training.
You will be informed by email if you are on the training or if you are on the waiting list. This is due to:
1) 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.
2) Incomplete or missing information that means your application will be rejected.
3) Finding that you have applied for inappropriate training for your job role.

Cancellations
If you need to cancel, please give a minimum of 5 working days’ notice (e.g. if the training is on Thursday, you need to let us know by 5pm on Wednesday the week before) so that we have time to fill the space. If you do not, this will count as a DNA.

Once you have received confirmation that you have a place on the training session, please liaise with your Practice Manager to organise your clinical schedule. Failure to do so, without cancelling with 5 full working days’ notice, will count as a DNA.

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.
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.
