  3. Please complete the National HSCP Office Professional Development Funding Application Form that was attached to this email and return it to NationalOffice@hse.ie. Please put the title of the course you are applying for as the subject header of the email when submitting your application.
  4. Please ensure to check that you meet the eligibility requirements of the course you are applying for – a link to each course is provided below.
  5. Applicants will be notified of the outcome as soon as is possible after submission. The date will vary depending on the academic deadlines for the course in question. NB: please note there is a very short application timeline for 7 of the courses below due to the academic deadline of 31st Apologies for the short turnaround time, but this was unavoidable if places on the course are to be funded.
