The NCL Training Hub has linked with Middlesex University London on a time-limited NHS-England-funded opportunity to support Nursing Associates to convert to Registered Nurses. This provides a clear and supported route for eligible learners to access the opportunity as part of the Registered Nursing Degree Apprenticeship January 2027 cohort.

Limited grants remain across north central London, allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
