Welcome to the newest and most flexible subgroup within the trainees committee!! We were established in October 2020 with the focus of our subcommittee to provide information, influence and appropriate support for those training or wishing to train flexibly and make flexible training a positive experience for all. We are committed to changing the culture and perception of ‘less than’ to ‘less is more’. In 2023 we have evolved into ‘Working Lives & LTFT’ to reflect our engagement in workstreams that affect all trainees (i.e. pay accuracy)

What we will do for you

  • Share our knowledge about all aspects of LTFT training & establish more structured support for LTFT trainees
  • Improve trainee and other stakeholder knowledge on key aspects of our working lives, including: –
    • pay accuracy
    • improved understanding, administration and delivery of special forms of leave (i.e. maternity, paternity, parental)
    • good rostering
  • Bring together and connect with trainees, trainers, programme management, employers and trusts
  • Link-in and learn from others with varied experience of flexible training and improving working lives

Contact Us: Please feel free get in touch with any queries via our email. This includes to support you with potential conflict situations between yourself and employer, i.e. rotas/pay etc. We try to mitigate and help finding solutions (based on previous experiences and examples) that are fair for flexible trainees and trusts alike.
