In order to support funding calculations and also to flag exemptions from the ELQ policy, HEFCE need to be able to identify courses that attract NHS Bursaries. WAG and the National Leadership and Innovation Agency for Healthcare (NLIAH) also have an interest in this information.

Notes

Code 2 should be used for those medical and dental courses for which bursaries are available only for the later years of the course.

Social Work bursaries administered by the NHS as an NHS bursary should be recorded in NHSBURSARY. Social work bursaries administered by the NHS Business Services Authority are only applicable for Course.REGBODY = 08 courses. In addition, to be eligible for a social work bursary the student must be enrolled on a GSCC approved social work degree course leading to eligibility to practice and not a post qualifying course.

Further information is available from the NHS Business Services Authority, the Department of Health and
the National Leadership and Innovation Agency for Healthcare (NLIAH).
