Leave

Study leave is applied for via the Accent Online system HERE

Further information about accessing your Accent account can be found here

• Study and Professional Leave Rules and Guidance (including funding categorisations and suggestions for professional leave)
• Study leave guidelines (Severn PGME School of Primary Care website)

Avon LMC offer courses in addition to those which are included as EPO sessions in your teaching timetables. These can be booked by emailing Baljit on baljit@sapernhr.co.uk

ALL Study Leave requests should be submitted on the Accent system at least 6 weeks before the course date (retrospective requests will not be authorised) and BEFORE you pay for or enroll onto a course. Details of how to do this can be found here. Please wait until your request has been approved on the Accent system before parting with any money as you will not be reimbursed if your request is denied.

To claim expenses following your course you will need to complete the ‘Expenses’ section of the relevant Study Leave entry on Accent, upload a completed expenses form, proof of attendance and receipts to the Accent Online system AND click on the ‘Claim’ button.
