Out of Programme Training (OOPT)
10 August 2021
Dear Trainee
Re: Application for recognition of Out of Programme Training (OOPT)
Please find enclosed an application form, which I would ask you to complete and return as soon as possible.
The College will determine if the programme submitted is appropriate for it to be recognised as time out of programme to be counted toward your CCT. This must be done prospectively.
It is your Postgraduate Dean, as well as the GMC (where applicable), who will approve the OOPT.
It is important that you submit your application for recognition in good time.
All parts of the form must be completed for it to be considered by members of Training Committee. A minimum of 3 months before the start date is required for the College to approve OOPTs.
If your application is recognised, the Training Committee will write an endorsement letter to you and copy it to your Head of School/Training Programme Director and Supervising Consultant.
The Deanery is responsible for applying to the GMC for approval (form CN18).
Please note you may only count a maximum of 12 months arising from a combination of OOPT and research towards your CCT.
Please also note that this recognition is only for the purposes of counting time during OOPT towards CCT. Approval for leave of absence from the training programme must be sought from your local Deanery using their application processes.
Yours sincerely
Miss Alex Tytko
Head of Education and Training Education and Training Department Out of Programme Training (OOPT)
