Become a Unified Learning Environment
Become an accredited and audited unified learning environment to help build the wider primary care workforce. Allow students to build their competencies in a real-life, primary care environment.
A Unified Learning Environment (ULE) is an audited primary care service such as a GP practice, Primary Care Network or Federation.
A ULE provides a setting of realism where learners can apply their skills and knowledge to achieve their competencies.
It is our ambition that all primary care services become ULEs, and that all learners get to experience working within primary care. Upon qualification, and dependent on their placement experience, we believe learners will then choose primary care as their preferred employer.
This will ensure a sustainable workforce that is fit for the future.
Entry Requirements
Your organisation must be one of the following:
- GP practice

To become an accredited ULE, you will need to complete an educational audit. Sent to North West HEIs for approval.
