Supported Return to Training
Supported Return to Training (SuppoRTT) is a centrally funded Health Education England (HEE) initiative which aims to support ALL Postgraduate Doctors to safely and confidently return to training after a sustained period of absence.
The programme applies to ALL Postgraduate Doctors in training who are absent for a period of three months or more, regardless of the reason. Those who are absent for a shorter period may also access support.
As returning Postgraduate Doctors are a diverse group, SuppoRTT aims to provide a bespoke, individualised package for each returning Postgraduate Doctor, rather than a single ‘one size fits all’ approach. The SuppoRTT initiative consists of:
- A structured and systematic process for planning absence, maintaining contact whilst out and planning for your return
- A menu of supported Return To Training Activities that can be built into an individualised return-to-training plan
- Funding to support CPD activities and a supernumerary period dependent on the Postgraduate Doctors individual needs
If you have been absent for a period of 3 months or more, it is strongly recommended that you follow our Supported Return to Training Guidance. It has been designed to be flexible and take into account the differing nature and length of absence, as well as the speciality and stage of your training, to ensure that you can safely and confidently return to practice.
