LTFT Training and Parenting

 

LTFT training uptake is increasing and LTFT trainees now make up almost a half of BSA trainees. There is a wide spread of trainees taking up LTFT training for various reasons.

 

In this section you will find Key Resources for LTFT trainees, including the application/change form, and the recently updated ‘Parenting Pack’ full of a wealth of information about pregnancy and parenting as an anaesthetist.

 

Do not hesitate to get in touch with Kerrie or Helen if you have any queries about any issues. The LTFT trainee rep can raise any issues at 3 monthly school/deanery meetings, and 6 monthly LTFT meetings. There is also a WhatsApp group you can join – email Kerrie with your mobile number to be added.

There have been a few recent queries about taking up locum shifts as a LTFT trainee, please find below a response from Helen Goodyear (Associate Postgraduate Dean for LTFT Training).

 

LTFT Application

We have now moved from PDF forms, to using a Microsoft Form found at the below link. All instructions on how to complete it are included in the Form.

 

MS Form: https://forms.office.com/e/wk9mkXbxtM

Please ensure you complete the LTFT application form both when you are applying to start working LTFT, and if you are changing your LTFT percentage or returning to full time training.

 

It is expected that you would have already discussed this application with your Educational Supervisor (ES) or Training Programme Director (TPD) before submitting this form.

 

Please see the WM Deanery website for more details.

LTFT Calculator

 

Use this tool to input of your % LTFT and dates for each trust/grade. It will then automatically calculate your full time equivalent and give a nice summary of your training. This can be used for any trainee and can also incorporate research, OOPE/OOPT etc.

 

Useful, not only for your own records and planning ahead but also useful to upload to LLP for ARCPs to give a clear summary of your training (not compulsory for ARCP).
