Inter-Deanery Transfers

The National Inter-Deanery Transfer (IDT) process has been put in place to support medical trainees who have had an unforeseen and significant change in circumstances since commencement of their current training programme.

The process is managed by the National IDT team (Health Education South London) on behalf of the Conference of Postgraduate Medical Deans (COPMeD), Health Education England (HEE) and all UK regions. If you are planning to apply for an IDT process, please visit the website for guidance.

Applying for a transfer

If you would like to apply for a transfer, it is important that you read the Trainee Guide to Inter Deanery Transfers (IDTs) to find out about the process, eligibility criteria and application requirements. In addition to this, further information can be found on the Post Graduate Medical and Dental Education (PGMDE) Support Portal. Please ensure you that you have read through the IDT FAQs before you submit a query to the national team.
