MTI Leadership Group
The MTI Leadership Group was established to support and develop the MTI scheme in Anaesthesia, Intensive Care Medicine (ICM) and Pain Medicine. The MTI scheme is a government authorised scheme which allows doctors form Low and Middle Income Countries (according to World Bank Definitions) to come to the UK to train within the NHS for a period of up to 24 months before returning to their home countries to develop healthcare systems and provide patient care.
The MTI Leadership Group has a number of roles, including:
- To advise stakeholders on all matters relating to MTI posts / doctors
- To provide quality assurance mechanisms around the MTI scheme
- To represent the RCoA at meetings at events
- To assess MTI posts and doctors applications
- To encourage and facilitate the professional development of MTI doctors
- To promote the MTI scheme to NHS Trusts
- To liaise with other stakeholders and other professional bodies on issues of mutual interest
- To run two New to the NHS events per year and at least one MTI Hosts Day
- To develop simulation courses for MTI doctors and other International Medical Graduates who are new to UK practice
