The RCOG provides educational guidance and support. Trainees on the MTI scheme have access to the RCOG Training ePortfolio during their MTI training and undergo an MTI Annual Review of Competencies (ARC) led by the RCOG MTI Regional Champion in the Deanery to assess their progression against the RCOG MTI Training Matrix competencies.

Charges to hospitals
For the College to ensure a quality service to both hospitals and doctors, it began implementing a charge to hospitals for placing a doctor in post. This charge was introduced to enable the RCOG to maintain a high standard of assessment, induction and ongoing mentorship / support / quality assurance in view of the rising number of doctors placed in the scheme.
The charge to hospitals per placement offered is £2500 plus VAT.
All hospitals are required to submit payment to the RCOG immediately after submitting the forms within this document and on receipt of an invoice from the College. Hospitals who withdraw their placement from the scheme will not be reimbursed.
Charges are per placement per doctor. Hospitals who offer more than one placement will be charged per placement offered.
MTI New starters reports
Once your MTI doctor(s) have arrived in the UK and started in their training post please ensure you update the RCOG MTI office.
Once the doctor officially starts in post with the employing Trust, an online AoMRC MTI New Starters Report must be completed and returned along with a signed copy of the Right to Work check confirmation within 10 working days of the start date.
Please note that the MTI Starters Report is a legal requirement from UKVI and is a condition of the Academy issuing a CoS.
End of placement / Transfer to another hospital
You will need to complete an online MTI Exception Report which will be submitted to the MTI department at the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, if an MTI trainee in your hospital:
- Has been absent from work for more than 10 days without permission
- Has been dismissed
- Is moving to a different hospital within your trust
- Has breached the terms and conditions of their leave
- Has been engaged in criminal activity
- Is on long term sick leave or on maternity leave
If the MTI Trainee has reached the end of their MTI placement or has resigned and left the post please ensure an AoMRC MTI End of Placement report is completed and returned within 10 working days of their final day in post. Please also ensure you notify the RCOG MTI Office at mti@rcog.org.uk This is needed for quality assurance purposes to enable monitoring of MTI completion rates within the scheme and for UKVI to cancel the tier 5 visa accordingly.
Upon receipt of the completed MTI End of Placement report the RCOG MTI Office will then be able to issue an MTI certificate / letter to cover time spent in MTI training to the doctor.
