If you are absent from work please remember to inform your practice/specialty and your trust medical staffing for their records as your programme lead employer and keep them updated with all of your absence dates.
Just a reminder that all Time Out of Training (TOOT) should be declared on your Form R in due course.
Trainees can add absences to their portfolio to help keep track of TOOT during training.
As per the Gold Guide 10th edition:
3.183 Absences from training (including OOP not approved towards training), other than for study leave or annual leave, may affect an individual’s ability to demonstrate capability and progression through the curriculum. The GMC has therefore determined that within each 12-month period where a postgraduate doctor in training has been absent for a total of 14 days or more (when they would normally be at work), a review will be triggered of whether they need to have their core training programme end date or their CCT date extended. This review would normally occur at the ARCP.
