Less Than Full Time Training (LTFTT)
Applications for LTFTT are welcomed within the School of Medicine and Health Education England Yorkshire and the Humber offers support to all trainees who for well-founded individual reasons wish to be considered for LTFTT in any medical specialty or grade.
We have taken a nationally leading proactive approach towards encouraging LTFT applications but also in supporting trainees in getting their requested %Whole Time Equivalent (%WTE) at either 50, 60 or 80% approved. The School of Medicine in Yorkshire and the Humber (which incorporates CMT as well as further specialty medical training) has produced guidance for both trainees and TPDs regarding this below.
Specifically for Core Medical Trainees we have a LTFT WhatsApp group for regional advice and support available to those both working on considering working LTFT. To join, either ask an existing LTFT IMT who may be able to add you or contact Sara Page, a trainee on the group.
