 Flexible Training...
The opportunity to train flexibly or part-time is available in all
deaneries. You should state your intention to work flexibly on
your application form.
In order to work part-time during the hospital component of the
training scheme, you will need to secure funding from the deanery prior to
appointment. You will usually need to make an appointment to see the
Associate Dean who deals with flexible training in order to determine that
you meet the criteria. Available funding may be limited and approval for
funding does not guarantee you a post. In some deaneries there might even
be a waiting list for such posts. A few schemes have
rotations specifically designed for flexible trainees although these are
uncommon.
Working flexibly as a GP Registrar in a practice is less problematic
and does not require funding approval but will depend upon the
availability of a suitable training practice.
In both the hospital and
the GP component of the training scheme, flexible trainees are required to
work at least 50% (previously 60%) of whole time equivalent and this must
include two periods of full-time work each lasting not less than 1 week.
