Opportunity overview

The FP&D benefits from a motivated person who will develop into a valuable member of staff, through academic learning alongside practical work experience and clear objectives.

The Network 75 scheme gives people from underprivileged backgrounds an opportunity to obtain a university degree without going into significant debt. The FP&D is utilising this scheme, alongside other organisations across NHS Wales, to support equitable access to the population across Wales and the citizens NHS Wales services. University of South Wales are uniquely positioned to provide the service outlined because the trainings are built on research that they have led or participated in as scholars.
