School SuppoRTT ChampionsTrust SuppoRTT Champions
School SuppoRTT Champions work with the training programmes, Trust SuppoRTT Champions, Trust Specialty Training Leads (TSTLs) and LTFT Leads to ensure that colleagues in training and trainers are aware of the RTT process and ensure that relevant return to training activities (RTT-A), including speciality specific return to training days, are available.
We also now have Peer SuppoRTT Reps in the Schools; contact details are available here: https://nwpgmd.nhs.uk/peer-supportt

Trust SuppoRTT Champions provide colleagues in training of all specialties and their supervisors with guidance regarding the relevant policies and available resources.
Please contact your Trust SuppoRTT Champion for help with the following issues:
NB: If you need to contact the Lead Employer please email their helpdesk: Lead.Employer@sthk.nhs.uk. Please don't contact the Mersey and West Lancashire Trust SuppoRTT Champions unless you are leaving or returning to those hospitals.
Foundation doctors should contact their Trust SuppoRTT Champion for any support they require.
Many Trust SuppoRTT Champions are also the Trust’s LTFT Champion so will also be able to support you with LTFT issues. If the roles are undertaken by separate people you can find the current list of LTFT Training Champions here.
