Inter-deanery Transfers

If you are considering transferring to another scheme please talk to the PDs.

There is a national Inter-Deanery Transfer ( IDT ) process to support trainees who have had an unforeseen and significant change in circumstances since their appointment to training, enabling consideration to be given to a possible transfer to another deanery.

‘An unforeseen, significant change in circumstances’ should relate to:

  • personal disability as defined by the Equality Act 2010 or
  • caring responsibilities or
  • parental responsibilities or
  • a committed relationship

You must have completed 9 months on your current training programme at the point of application and have at least 12 months remaining at the point of transfer.

The national process occurs twice a year, at the time of writing in February and August.

For more information and for the online application please see the Inter-Deanery Transfers website
