Download the Annual Leave Form
The appropriate leave form must be completed and signed by
the Clinical Supervisor of the placement you will be in when
you are taking the leave. The annual leave form needs to be
sent to Medical Staffing at least six weeks prior to the
leave.
F1s and F2s are entitled to 5 weeks and 2 statutory days (27
days annual leave per year). At least one week of leave must
be taken in each placement, most placements have leave
rostered in.
You must take your allocation of annual leave in the
placement and days in lieu of bank holidays must either be
taken in the placement or paid for.
You need to be proactive and plan.
Examples of Rostered Leave :
At CGH :- MAU (7 days) and A&E (9 days) so no extra leave
can be taken during these placements
To allow for Specialty Inductions to take place at the
beginning of each placement you are discouraged from taking
any leave during the first 10 days of each of your
placements.
Only under exceptional circumstances under full agreement of
both the Clinical Supervisor and the Foundation Programme
Director may these guidelines be breached.
Each individual foundation doctor will have their own leave
entitlement for each placement in a rotation due to rostered
leave. It is therefore advisable to speak to Teresa Thomas
in Medical Staffing (details below) early on in the year
to find out your exact entitlement for each placement. You
should then plan your leave early to ensure you can take all
the leave you are entitled to.
Each department has a rota/leave co-ordinator which could be
a medical secretary, nominated consultant or other senior
doctor. Your will need to discuss your proposed leave
with them.
