Nationally available training placements (NATPs) are GMC-approved placements which are intended to provide experience at a national level and develop specialist leadership knowledge and skills.
NATPs can count towards training however the necessity for time out of programme and the provision of salary and expenses remain at the discretion of local training programme directors / heads of school. Given the format, many NATPs require some degree of in-person working, though this is subject to individual NATP arrangements.
