NHS Graduate Management Training Scheme host applications

Applications to host Graduate Management Training Scheme (GMTS) trainees for the September 2024 cohort are now open. Systems, Integrated Care Boards, Trusts and organisations running NHS services are encouraged to apply. Trainees undertake two placements in NHS organisations as well as studying for post-graduate qualifications over the course of two to two and a half years. The application process is similar to last year involving two stages. Stage one application forms and guidance can be accessed through the GMTS website: GMTS Website - Assurance Guidance and Application Forms (the password is ‘GMTS’). The application questions align with the GMTS’ Quality Standards Framework, which has been co-produced with stakeholders and is to be used as the basis of an accreditation process that is in development.

Within their placements, trainees must work towards meeting competencies relevant to their specialism; these competencies are available below:

General Management  

Finance

Human Resources

Health Informatics

The deadline for applications is 2nd February 2024. Please return completed forms to your regional GMTS team at nwla.gmtsnw@nhs.net.

A number of information sessions will be held in the coming months. These will provide an overview of the requirements for hosting a GMTS trainee and the application process. They are open to all organisations and systems running NHS services. Please see dates and registration links below:

For more information on the Scheme, the application process or anything else GMTS-related please contact your regional team at nwla.gmtsnw@nhs.net.
