Te Pou is pleased to announce a unique opportunity to support the skills and knowledge of the primary care nurse workforce.
This is a one-off grant for primary care nurses working in general practitioner and nurse practitioner practices, schools and other primary care settings to build their knowledge and skills in mental health and addiction.
The grant will cover the costs of taking part in a learning activity (course or training programme), to develop professional knowledge and skills that enhance the support of tāngata whai ora.
Applications for the grant open on Monday 10 November and close at midday on Friday 5 December.
The full grant criteria, including what information will be required to apply, can be found on the Te Pou website. Anyone interested in applying for a grant is encouraged to read through this information before the grant applications open, to ensure you have everything you need to apply.
