We are planning 10 half-days per year for the "generic curriculum" plus local ED teaching of around 2 hours per week. They also get two taster weeks but we´ve insisted that they take these during their other non-ED attachments. All of the foregoing contribute towards their 30-day allowance as Duncan suggests. We converted (almost) all ours to F2s so at least we don´t have to worry about 6-monthers any more.

Ours get about 10 Professional development days a year and we have been told they must have 3hrs protected teaching a week. In addition they are apparently entitled to study leave, of 30 days per year for things like 'Taster weeks' (nothing to do with wine I'm told).......although i think this is not being advertised! This is in addition to the work based assessment time they all get ...................on a 40 hour/week contract. This for us is complictaed by having six monthly SHOs and four monthly F2's, so combined SHO type teaching courses do not overlap smoothly! yours curiously Peter Leeds
