Absence from training
If you are absent from training for any reason, you must inform your Department/Directorate and also NWSSP:
Absences from training, other than for study leave or annual leave, i.e. maternity/paternity leave, jury service or other unforeseen circumstances may have an impact on a doctor’s ability to demonstrate competence and progression through their training curriculum. The General Medical Council (GMC) has determined therefore that within each 12 month period where a trainee has been absent for a total of 14 days or more (when a trainee would normally be at work), a review of whether the trainee needs to have their CCT/programme end date extended will be triggered.
Further details about absence from training can be found in the Trainee Handbook.
Failure to inform the relevant parties could result in this being identified at your ARCP and leading to a delay in your progression.
