Top 5 reasons why universities use Wozzad for their Health CPD pre-student journey
Reduces application processing times.
Wozzad has dramatically reduced LSBUs application processing time by 800% during our first 2 years. Main reason: All applications must have funding approved before application is forwarded to LSBU for processing.
Enhanced NHS trust experience.
The Wozzad NHS trust portal is designed in conjunction with NHS trusts to meet their CPD training demands. NHS trusts trust Wozzad and its university partners to deliver.
Improve student recruitment.
The Wozzad Platform allows all our NHS trust or non-NHS partners to search and apply for any course with just a single click, removing any time consuming barriers.
We understand CPD Health applications.
Having worked with universities on CPD health for over 15 years, we understand the application complexities that exist in CPD health. We know about NMP forms and the need for DMPs, we know what is required for Return to Nursing applications and understand what is acceptable and not for NMC credited courses.

The applicant can self manage their application as they receive SMS texts and emails that update their application status.

Bespoke courses
Application forms are not fit for purpose for complex courses like NMP (V100 or V300)
Wozzad allows unlimited application forms for all your modules, meaning you can ask very specific questions which is only relevant to that module.
Administrators are spending too much time chasing Trusts for Funding approval
Applications are always sent to the relevant NHS Trust first before ever reaching the university. For the Trust to approve the application, funding instructions must be included.
Student queries is taking a lot of resource and leading to bad student experience
Applicants self-manage their application. SMS texts update the applicant on where the application is currently at. Applicants then know who to contact if there is an issue.
Some of our courses are not full, we need more applicants to make the course viable
All NHS Trusts and related organisations on the Wozzad platform can view, at a glance what courses are running in the immediate future. Universities can then 'broadcast' what availability they have to all employers on Wozzad.
A major Trust needs a bespoke course
We make it extremely easy to create bespoke courses on your prospectus and to limit the applicants to a single employer only. It takes less than 10 minutes to set this up.
