Less than Full Time (LTFT) Training in Kent, Surrey and Sussex (KSS) Deanery allows doctors and dentists to work less than full-time in posts that are fully recognised for training.
KSS Deanery acknowledges the continuing need for LTFT Training and is committed to supporting this as a meaningful contribution to the principles of equality and diversity, whilst also recognising that it enables a number of medical and dental trainees to remain within the NHS and therefore available to treat acutely ill patients across the South East Coast region.
KSS Deanery also aims to support the principles of the new approach to LTFT Training, introduced in June 2005, as part of The New Pay Deal for LTFT trainees. This acknowledged the need to integrate an increasingly valuable method of training into mainstream medicine through slot-share placements, which are ultimately aimed at improving access to LTFT Training, whilst combining it with better support for LTFT trainees and a new, equitable pay structure. Further details can be viewed from the NHS Employers website at: www.nhsemployers.org
KSS Deanery supports access to Less than Full Time Training through slot sharing and, if this is not feasible, trainees may need to train on the basis of reduced sessions in a full time placement. For further details of recent changes to the funding arrangements for LTFT Training in KSS, please refer to http://kssdeanery.org/news/changes-funding-ltft-training.

The website includes a number of sections which form part of a Less than Full Time Training Guide with useful information and guidance on how the Less than Full-Time Training scheme operates, as well as providing links to other resources.
