Applicants should note that not all courses, programmes and modules within each university are funded by the SHA. The SHA has a contract with each university and it is the SHA Education Commissioner's responsibility, in partnership with key stakeholders and the education providers, to decide which of its courses, programmes and modules are included within the contract. It should also be noted that whilst there are some exceptions, programmes and modules outside of the schools of health (or their equivalent) are not usually funded by the SHA. The CPD course finder website provides a search facility for the majority of SHA CPD funded courses and can be accessed by clicking on the following link:
