Please note that the Period of Grace (POG) does not apply to General Practice residents, Foundation residents nor those completing core training programmes.
Resident doctors in higher training programmes are able to apply for consultant posts up to six months before their anticipated CCT/CESR(CP) date, not all are either able to do this or are successful in their applications.
The ‘Period of Grace’ (POG) enables doctors who have completed training and not yet obtained a consultant post to continue in the Specialty Registrar grade contract for a time limited period whilst they find employment.
