Less than full-time training
The RCPCH Flexible Co-ordinators provide advice and support to less than full time trainees and meet twice a year to discuss less than full time training and raise relevant issues with the Training Committee.
Paediatricians have pioneered initiatives within less than full-time training which have been strongly supported by the College. Paediatrics consequently has higher numbers of part-time trainees than other hospital specialties.
Less than full-time training can provide an ideal solution for trainees who wish to combine family commitments or other interests with their career.
