Most Family-Friendly Deanery
The Wales Deanery has been recognised with a national award for its family friendly policies.
The Wales Deanery received the highest number of votes in a UK-wide survey for the most Family-Friendly Deanery led by the Medical Women's Federation. The survey explored areas including the organisation of rotas for junior doctors, cover for colleagues on maternity/sick leave, availability of advice and help with childcare and Less than full time training. This service is open to trainee Foundation years one and two, Speciality Trainees, Specialist Registrars and GP Registrars.
The purpose of the LTFT training scheme is to give training grade doctors and dentists the opportunity to continue their training on a less than full time basis when full-time work is impossible or unreasonable rather than having to give up work. Therefore, other paid employment cannot be combined with Less Than Full-time Training.
