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.
