Study 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)
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.
If you have any technical issues with Accent please email IMSupport.South@hee.nhs.uk

Ideas from previous DiT for using private study time include:
- Sitting in with Paediatric general clinics e.g. email frances.hutchings@uhbw.nhs.uk
- Attending a Balint Group. These run once a month for an hour (currently on a Tuesday) and are a chance for you to discuss challneging conusltations in a confidential and non-judgmental setting with colleagues. Yiu can use study leave for these.Contact Dr Liz Lee on drlizlee@gmail.com
- Sitting in with other practitioners e.g: physio, BDP workers, homeless clinic, crisis teams
