What is TOOT (Time out of training)?

Created by Karlene Richards, Modified on Wed, 4 Feb at 10:07 AM by Karlene Richards

Time out of training should reflect days absent from the training programme since your last ARCP or since initial registration to the programme if you have not yet had an ARCP. This is considered by the ARCP panel in recalculation of the date you should end your current training programme should an adjustment be required. 

TOOT declared on your Form R part B should include: 

  • short- and long-term sickness absence 

  • paid/unpaid/unauthorised leave 

  • maternity/paternity leave 

  • compassionate paid/unpaid leave 

  • jury service 

  • career breaks within a programme (OOPC)* 
    non-training placements for experience (OOPE)* 


TOOT declared on your Form R part B should not include: 

  • study leave 

  • paid annual leave 

  • prospectively approved Out of Programme Training/Research (OOPT / OOPR)

  • periods of time between training programmes 
    (e.g. between core and higher training)
