I'm going on parental leave, what do I need to do?

Please ensure that you have notified your employer and Training Programme Director of your parental leave and dates. 

You should submit an enquiry form to inform us of the start date of your parental leave, we will share relevant information with the College/Faculty and the GMC and the Supported Return to Training Team. You should have a meeting with your educational supervisor prior to leaving and complete the pre-absence form available at https://london.hee.nhs.uk/professional-development/supported-return-training


If you are due an ARCP at the time of your parental leave, you will be required to complete a Form R only and a N (Not assessed) outcome will be issued for parental leave reasons. 


On your return to clinical training, you will have a meeting with your supervisor up to 8 weeks prior to your planned return to ascertain any support you may require.  Your completion of programme date / CCT / CESR (CP) date may be recalculated.
