Less Than Full Time Training for GPRs
All GP Registrars are eligible to apply for Less Than Full Time Working. Those wishing to continue their training on this basis, must show that full-time training would not be practical for them for well-founded individual reasons.
If a GP Registrar wishes to work less than full time, they must notify their local APD, TPD or Scheduling Administrator of their intentions at the earliest opportunity and, provide at least 16 weeks' notice of their proposed LTFT start or change date.
GP Registrars wishing to apply should refer to the Less Than Full Time Working Policy and submit their application via the Trainee Self Service portal: https://trainee.tis-selfservice.nhs.uk/.
GP Registrars should submit their application as soon as the change in circumstances making them eligible for less than full time working becomes apparent. Where the circumstances mean that less than 16 weeks' notice is given, applications will be assessed on a case by case basis.
In the "Pre-approver details" section of the application, please include the name and email address of your GP VTS admin, as listed below:
Bath: paulacain@nhs.net
Bristol: Mandy.Price@nbt.nhs.uk
Gloucestershire: ugochukwu.iheme-madukairo@nhs.net
Somerset: emma.stallard@somersetft.nhs.uk

The GMC have published changes to the requirements of evidence on the ePortfolio for less than full time trainees. Please ensure you read the guidelines for LTFT pro rata submission of evidence for ARCPs.
