Who is my LBR Lead?
If you work for the NHS in Yorkshire and the Humber or East Midlands you may be eligible to fund your studies through the LBR contract.
Some trusts have a dedicated LBR lead who approves funding applications, other trusts let line managers approve applications for their staff. For more information see the flowchart on our LBR eligibility page.
