Contacts

Throughout your Inter-Deanery Transfer (IDT) application you will need to contact key people to help support your application.

The below table contains contact details of the named regional Inter-Deanery Transfer (IDT) contact for each region. 

Some regions will have more than one named regional IDT contact. Where there are 2 named regional contacts, one of the contacts may be named for specific specialties (for example, General Practice (GP)). This will be indicated beside the individuals name. 

Region specific IDT queries

If you have an IDT query that is region specific or you would like more information about the training programme within the region that you wish to apply to transfer to, you should contact the named regional IDT contact for that region. The National IDT team will be unable to answer these types of queries.
