As with annual leave Less Than Full-time Trainees (LTFT) receive study leave days pro-rata to a whole time resident doctor in any one calendar year. Resident doctors on parental leave will receive a reduced entitlement for their parental leave period.
Resident doctors who start or complete their training part way through the study leave year will receive a pro-rata entitlement until the end of the leave year. This also applies to resident doctors who start in February.
Entitlement to study leave ends once a resident doctor reaches CCT and resident doctors are not entitled to study leave during the Period of Grace.
Resident doctors on Out of Programme Experience (OOPE), Out of Programme Research (OOPR) or Out of Programme Career Break (OOPC) are not entitled to study leave for the period they are out of programme. Trainees on Out of Programme Training (OOPT) are normally only entitled to study leave for this period if they are occupying a training post on a training programme in our region.
