SuppoRTT Champions

In the North West we have two types of Champions to support you through the process:

School SuppoRTT Champions work with the training programmes, Trust SuppoRTT Champions, Trust Specialty Training Leads (TSTLs) and LTFT Leads to ensure that postgraduate doctors 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.

Trust SuppoRTT Champions provide postgraduate doctors in training of all specialties and their supervisors with guidance regarding the relevant policies and available resources.

We now also have Peer SuppoRTT Reps to provide peer support, advice and guidance to those returning to their specialty.

Below is a list of things each role can help you with; the list is not exhaustive but should help guide you towards the support you require.
