Return to Training Activities (RTT-A)

Click on the link or scan the QR code to access the RTT-A application form.

RTT-A Application Form

You will need to complete and submit the form online, this allows you to apply for the reimbursment of time (i.e. KIT / SPLIT / SRTT day) and related funding. It is one activity per form, to apply for more than one activity, please submit another form. Once the RTT-A Application is received, the NW SuppoRTT Team will review the application and, if approved, liaise with the relevant team to ensure you are reimbursed for your time and process any activity related expenses (if applicable).  
Funding

NHSE offers funding to doctors wishing to attend educational activities which will benefit their return to training and funding for activities that are only available when access to the usual study leave budget is not (i.e. when on parental leave etc.).

If an activity is overseas and all other curriculum requirements are met, one international event/activity will be considered for each doctor in training for any one programme (Foundation, Core, Higher or otherwise every three years). If application is approved, NHSE will consider funding either the full cost of the course/conference fees or the full cost of economy travel and accommodation whichever is the lower amount.

Why it can be essential to use SuppoRTT days and stay up to date 

Utilising SuppoRTT days offers you the chance to stay connected to training, meet and speak to other doctors who may be going through similar experiences to you. Click here for information about the different SuppoRTT Days (KIT, SRTT & SPLIT) and see which is applicable to you.
