I have decided not to return to training from my parental leave, who should I inform? (Resignations)

Modified on Wed, 17 May, 2023 at 11:54 AM

If you decide not to return to the training programme from your parental leave you are required to give notice in line with your Terms and Conditions. You are required to submit a formal letter of resignation to your employer and Training Programme Director. You also need to contact the NHSE LASE team via the trainee portal to inform them of your resignation and you will be required to then complete the LaSE Healthcare Education Team Withdrawal from Specialty Training form (attached below).


Your employer is entitled to reclaim any occupational maternity pay if you do not provide the required notice.

Consider having careers coaching or advice prior to making this decision.  Free, independent advice is available from the professional support unit https://london.hee.nhs.uk/professional-development/professional-support-unit
