The Red Whale GP Trainee Essentials package is currently available to GPST 1, 2 and 3s and members may sign up for the package on each of their training years, so you can continue to benefit from this support package throughout your GP training journey. We are also currently offering an exclusive member benefit to those who take up full MDU membership as a first year GP to support you in your early career: one free Red Whale online course of your choice. If you continue your Affiliate membership with the MDU until the end of your GP training, we’ll be in touch to let you know more about this close to when you reach your CCT.
Your subscription is based on the average number of weekly sessions you work across your membership year, and we define a session as a block of anything up to four hours of clinical work.
Here's how to work out the number of hours worked per week:

If you’re not sure if your subscription is session-based or you have any questions about calculating sessions, contact our membership team on 0800 716 376.
Everyone’s application is unique to their work circumstances.
It’s best to start the application process around four weeks before your current indemnity ends. This will allow plenty of time for your current provider to give you a letter of good standing, if needed.
We’ll keep you regularly updated by email once we’ve received your application. If we haven’t got everything we need, we’ll be in touch to clarify things.
To avoid any gaps in your indemnity, it’s important you don’t cancel your current indemnity until your MDU membership is confirmed.
No. It’s important you wait to hear back from us about your application first. Please call our membership team on 0800 716 376 if you require your membership to start sooner.
Depending on your role, please have details about your work, registration, qualifications and indemnity history to hand.
We’re always here to help and answer any questions. Call our membership team on 0800 716 376 or connect with your local MDU liaison manager.
