Can I apply for study leave/budget even if the course does not relate to my current placement?

Modified on Tue, 12 Aug at 2:34 PM

If the course you wish to apply for is listed on the NHSE approved course lists for your programme you can apply for study leave to your Trust as usual. If the course is not on the lists then you will need to apply to your TPD and Head of School for approval in writing as per the 'Process for Discretionary Courses' document, which can be found on the Study Leave homepage here.


If you are currently employed in a KSS trust you need to follow the NHSE KSS guidance and study leave application process on the KSS webpage here.
