Welcome Pack
What are the Form R Part A and Conditions of Joining A Specialty Training Programme documents?

Prior to starting your Training Programe you are required to complete a Form R Part A. This form ensures that we have your most accurate contact details as well as ensuring that you are registering for the correct training programme. 

The Conditions of Joining a Specialty Training Programme is your training contract with HEE, by signing it you agree to abide by the code of conduct and adhere to the polidies and procedures of your training programme.

Both documents must be completed and submitted to Programme Support , failure to do so will delay your full registration in the training programme and will prevent the issuing of your National Training Number. 

Why haven't I received my NTN?

NTNs (National Training Numbers) will be issued to new starters who have successfully submitted their completed Form R Part A and signed Conditions of Joining a Specialty Training Programme documents to Medicine Programme Support and have been in started in their training programme.

Please note, trainees do not require an NTN to register with the JRCPTB.

When will I know where my first placement will be?
