Period of Grace
Purpose
For doctors who have completed their training and want to continue in the Specialty Registrar grade for up to 6 months whilst they find further employment.
Application
Trainees must apply in writing to their TPD for a POG at least six months prior to their CCT/CESR(CP) date. The application should be copied to the Programme Management team (edit.eoe@hee.nhs.uk) in HEE EoE.
Placement
Trainees cannot request a POG in a specific location or sub-specialty. The placement will be offered in a Trust where there is a service need.
Please see below the HEE Period of Grace Polcy:
Trainees must discuss their intention to apply for a POG with their TPD prior to making an application. Trainees must apply in writing to their TPD for a POG at least six months prior to their CCT/CESR(CP) date. The application should be copied to the Programme Management team (edit.eoe@hee.nhs.uk) in HEE EoE.
Once a doctor has accepted the offer of a PoG, they must give a minimum of three months written notice to the employing Trust, their TPD and to the Programme Management team (edit.eoe@hee.nhs.uk), if they either do not want to take up the POG or if they wish to leave the POG early. This is to ensure that the employing Trust is given adequate time to make provision for service need and is in line with NHS Employers’ Junior Doctors Terms and Conditions for StR level trainees.
Once a doctor has accepted the offer of a POG, they must give a minimum of 3 months’ notice to the employing trust, their TPD and HEE Programme Management Team if they wish to leave the POG early.
The current process requests that once notified by the trainee TPD’s are to let the Programme Management Team (edit.eoe@hee.nhs.uk) know, so the necessary changes can be made in a timely manner.
There is no administration work to be done by the trainee other than the initial e-mail which needs to be sent to the following e-mail address which the whole PM team monitor.
EDIT.eoe@hee.nhs.uk is the point of contact for East of England PoG queries, these are processed by the whole team.
These are determined by the local employer’s T&C’s of service. Doctors in a PoG have completed their training and have no rights to HEE-funded study leave, IDTs, OOP etc. As trainees are no longer ‘in training’ this becomes the responsibility of the trust. (Sec.7-Parental Leave)
No they do not. If we are not notified, we have to contact the TPD to confirm.
