Courses and Meetings

Doctors should apply for study leave time and reimbursements through their employing Trust and work to the Trust policy.

There is no longer a ‘notional’ study budget per individual, but a tailored one designed to meet your personal needs.

Local Courses should be prioritised where possible – see the NHSE Courses page for more information.

If a local course is oversubscribed or in the case of exams, a local course has been previously attended, then an external course may be considered.

A list of automatically approved courses/activities, if applied for at the appropriate stage in training, are available under the ”Essential” and “Supporting” Categories on the Anaesthetics and Intensive Care Medicine Approved List.  This is NOT a list of mandatory courses.

For details on the full application process, please see the South East Study Leave webpage.  

There are a range of other clinical courses run in the region, which are organised and advertised independently.
