Foundation Training Grant Payments
Foundation Training Grant Payments: Go-live and submission dates update
You will be aware that NHS England is working with the NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) to implement an electronic registration process for payment of the foundation training grant via the Manage Your Service (MYS) portal, replacing the previous locally managed application system.
We can confirm that this new process will go live on Thursday 14 September 2023, allowing contractors to complete their training grant applications entirely online for immediate submission to NHSBSA.
Please access your MYS portal in the usual way, where you will find a new button for foundation training grant submissions.
Preparing for the launch
You will need to register each foundation trainee pharmacist you need to make payment claims for and confirm their individual details when you make a claim.
For registering a foundation trainee pharmacist, you will need to tell us:
- their name
- their date of birth
- their GPhC registration number
- their training start date
- their Designated Supervisor’s name
- their Designated Supervisor’s GPhC registration number
Important: To make payments as soon as possible for contractors with trainees who started in July, the NHSBSA will create an exception to the payment process for the July payment only. For any submissions made between 14th September and 23:59 on 21st September, the NHSBSA will process the July payment immediately and contractors will receive their funding allocation in early October.
Action: Please submit your grant application as soon as possible. Those contractors with trainees who started in July 2023 and who submit between 14th September and 23.59 on 21st September will receive their July payment in October.
For all other submissions and payments, where a claim is made by Thursday 5th October, payments will be made in line with the normal pharmacy payment timetable.
Any technical queries with the MYS portal should be addressed to mys@nhsbsa.nhs.uk
