The intention of Less Than Full Time training (LTFT) is to keep doctors in training where full-time training is not practical for well-founded individual reasons. This supports doctors who wish to train part-time, while remaining as close as possible to the arrangements for doctors working full-time. Training will take proportionately longer to complete.
Submitting Applications
The application form is now one online form rather than separate paper eligibility and approval forms. Future applications and forms will be managed via the LTFT section of the trainee London and KSS Support Portal.
- LTFT trainees will only need to apply once to train LTFT and will no longer need to complete an approval form upon each rotation
- LTFT trainees will only need to complete a new LTFT form, on returning to full time work or increasing/decreasing the number of sessions they are working
- TPDs and medical staffing and finance at trusts will no longer need to sign approval forms.
- no signatures are required on the online application form
- the process will be the same for both KSS and London trainees, there will no longer be different forms to fill in for KSS and London placements
