Study leave for trainees is not an entitlement but is a discretionary allowance of time and funding to enable trainees to access experiences which cannot be gained in planned clinical attachments.  Trainees will not automatically get all study
 leave they apply for.  }{\f28\fs22 Training Programme Directors are responsible for making decisions on whether or not to approve applications for study leave.   Retrospective claims will not be considered.}{\f28\fs22 
\par }{\f28\fs16 
\par }{\f28\fs22 Each trainee is allowed up to 15 study days per six months.  Study leave is available only if the leave is to attend an approved course or to participate in some study activity, which forms part of an educational plan and package. 
\par 
\par GPST\rquote s are entitled to apply for extra study leave to sit a recognised exam, for t
hat day only i.e. exam leave, but are expected to travel back on the day of the exam and be available to work the next day.  If an extra day is spent travelling to the exam, that must come out of the total of 15 or annual leave
\par }{\f28\fs16 
\par }{\f28\fs22 If an approved course runs over into a weekend, then these days count towards the total of 15, unless the GPST elects to }{\f28\fs22\ul not}{\f28\fs22  claim expenses for those days.
\par }{\f28\fs16 
\par }{\f28\fs22 Private study leave is recognised and is inclusive as part of the overall 15 day entitlement.  Although there is no entitlemen
t to expenses, leave should be applied for in the same manner as normal study leave for courses etc.  The Yorkshire Deans advise one week (5 days) of private study leave only per six months, and the GPST concerned must report back to the clinical tutor an
d
 consultant supervisor at the end of the leave to see if educational objectives are achieved.   Private study leave, if part of a formal education target previously agreed with an educational supervisor, is more likely to receive official support, but it 
can be granted at GPST short notice in cases of exam nerves etc.  In exceptional circumstances, a trainee may conduct private study leave elsewhere than their normal home (i.e at Parent\rquote 
s home etc).  However the GPST should remain in the UK.  If a trainee i
ntends to do this, they must ask permission from their consultant supervisor, and the clinical tutor. Otherwise a trainee must remain in the local area, and be available to return to work in the event of a major incident or if a colleague goes off sick et
c.  At no time can a trainee on private study leave take part in remunerated work at a different hospital/medical practice.  To do so constitutes a disciplinary offence.
