Foundation Trainees should apply for ALS courses through their Employing Trusts, who will take care of the course organisation and delivery, and who will claim back for reimbursement from NHSE in their monthly returns. For Foundation Trainees, from 1st September 2024 a £300 cap per person is applied to these courses, as an ALS course is no longer specified as a requirement in the Foundation curriculum.
Should a Foundation doctor be unable to attend a locally delivered ALS course and join a course organised externally, then NHSE will reimburse the amount that the trainee has paid so that they are not out of pocket. However, please note that these would be treated as very exceptional circumstances, as Employing Trusts should always encourage Foundation doctors to attend their locally delivered ALS courses where applicable.
