Already Gemma has engaged with LTFT Leads and Forums across the UK and has successfully set up a new LTFT Forum in Wales with representation from Resident Doctors, Health Boards, NWSSP and HEIW.

Gemma Said “Flexible training is key to our workforce wellbeing and career longevity.  Having benefited from less than full time training (LTFT) in my own career I am passionate about raising the LTFT profile within Wales, supporting our resident doctors and ensuring that we continue to deliver excellence and flexibility in our post-graduate programmes”.
