The length of time that training can be extended relates to the type of programme the trainee is following (e.g. Core Training or Run Through):
| Programme | Extension to Training Time | Exceptional Additional Training Time 1 | Total |
| Core Training Programme | 6 months | 6 months | 12 months |
| Higher Training programme | 1 year 2 | 1 year | 2 years3 |
| Run Through Training programme | 1 year | 1 year | 2 years |
| GP Training Programme | 6 months | 6 months | 12 months |
- The Postgraduate Dean must approve exceptional additional training time
This would include 1 year across both core and higher specialty where the programme is uncoupled and may include up to 6 months for the Core Training programme.
This would include 2 years across both core and higher specialty where the programme is uncoupled and may include up to 12 months for the Core Training programme
This does not include additional time that might be required because of statutory leave such as ill health or maternity/paternity/adoption leave.
