Study leave for Consultants/Trust Grade/ Specialty Doctors

Study leave for Consultants/Trust Grade/Speciality Doctor

Study leave entitlement runs from April to March of each year, in line with the financial year.

Study leave entitlement is 10 days per annum. If your employment at the Trust starts midway between April to March, then this will be a pro-rata.

The total allowable expenses will be limited to £1,000 per year inclusive of course, subsistence and travel.

It is not the decision of the PGEC to allow any Doctor to roll over any unused study leave finances or days. As this money comes out of individual directorates, the Clinical Lead will need to email the MEM Tina Suttle-Smith, confirming that they are happy for this to take place.


Consultants/ Trust Grade and Specialty Doctors need to complete a study leave request form. This can be accessed here or collected from the PGEC.

Consultants and senior grade doctors study leave application form(15-16)

Every section of the form needs completing before being sent to Lynne Youens Study leave co-ordinator, 6 weeks before the first day of the proposed study leave absence.

To prevent any confusion please note that:

· Study leave includes any course which maintains CPD and revalidation

· Professional leave is to attend any Royal College, Specialty School, HEKSS meeting

· Special Leave would be to attend an event such as a court visit as an expert witness

The completed approval form can either be delivered in person to the reception area of the PGEC or it can be emailed to lynne.youens@sash.nhs.uk

Any supporting documentation such as the course outline is welcomed in the initial application.

Lynne keeps a record of your proposed study leave and she will take a copy of the form. You will then, through internal post or email, receive a copy back confirming that you have enough study leave days to attend the course and the form will state how much study leave money you have left, taking in to consideration your attendance at the requested event.

Following attendance you must make a claim on e-Expenses.
