Trainee Courses and Events
The SuppoRTT Team organises a variety of courses to support trainees with their return to work and the clinical environment. Our courses can be accessed by all trainees who are absent from training, whatever the reason and whatever the length of absence. You can also attend courses within the first three months of returning to training.
Our course catalogue, which can be found below, provides specific information about each course that we run and how they will be of benefit to you. Further information about each course and their availability can be found on Maxcourse.
Most of our courses are accessible to new parents, and you are welcome to bring children under the age of two to these courses, unless specified in the course catalogue or on Maxcourse.
If you have a particular training need that none of our courses address, you may wish to consider applying for SuppoRTT CPD Funding.

Expenses when attending face-to-face courses
Travel and subsistence (if applicable) expenses for attending face-to-face SuppoRTT courses can be claimed via study leave. In order to claim a study leave application must be submitted on ALM and approved before the event. When submitting your application on ALM, please select ‘Study’ as the leave type and ‘NHSE SuppoRTT Course’ from the event list. Please see the Study Leave pages for more information about the process.
SuppoRTT CPD Funding
There may be some instances where a training need is identified that cannot be addressed by our provision. Where this is the case, trainees may be able to apply for CPD funding.
CPD funding is available to all trainees who have been absent from clinical training for three months or more. Examples of activities that the funding can be used for include, but are not limited to:
- Bootcamps
- Speciality Specific Training Days
- Mixed Speciality Courses
- Conferences
Funding must be applied for in advance and is only available for courses or events that are taking place within six months of the Trainee's planned return to practice, or three months after their return. In exceptional circumstances, for example, OOPRs who have been out of training for 3-4 years, if the course/activity does not fall between these periods then approval by the SuppoRTT Associate Deans will be required.
Trainees wishing to apply for SuppoRTT CPD funding should read our funding guidance in full before making any application. Funding requests will only be approved if they comply with the policy.
Trainees can apply for CPD funding using our online application form. Please see Study Leave Expense Allowances for details on what expenses can be claimed.
