Application Window for Wessex
Doctors in training who wish to be considered for LTFT training should firstly read the guidance document. You are not permitted to commence LTFT training until you have had your application approved by NHSE (Wessex Local Office)
The application window for the February - August 2024 rotation has now closed. We will still accept applications from new starters who have not received placement/Trust information in time. Urgent applications on grounds of health, caring roles or religious convictions will be considered at any time but supporting evidence will be required.
Prior to completing the application form, doctors in training should ensure they have read the relevant information sheets and the BMA guidance on pay. Further guidance can be found on our website: https://wessex.hee.nhs.uk/trainee-information-journey/less-than-full-time-training
Applications need to be submitted no less than 16 weeks before the start date of the rotation during which you wish to go LTFT (rather than the date you wish to start your LTFT training). Applications may be considered outside of this time period for exceptional circumstances but evidence of Medical HR approval will be required as a supplement to your application.
