This is the Katy\u2019s experience:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUnlike most who do LTFT, I don&#8217;t have children which often confuses people! I applied for LTFT because two days a week, I wanted to continue working for a Christian charity. I do administration &#8211; typing up articles, books, managing website, liaising with people overseas, organising trips and going on overseas trips to Ghana, Togo, Estonia, Latvia&#8230;&#8230; I can do something else with my time which I feel is just as important as my job &#8211; I don&#8217;t have to choose over the two anymore\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is LTFTT for you?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some thoughts from LTFT trainees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Full-time versus part-time? Deciding to work part-time is a big decision. You need to consider financial aspects, your fulfilment as a GP and child care arrangements where relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few things to think about when considering LTFT training:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>If you don\u2019t like hospital placements, you will be doing them for longer!<\/li><li>Your teaching may overlap with two different ST3 year groups which is not great continuity, but it is still ok (the PDs usually recommend doing August to August for ST3 Tuesday teaching wherever possible)<\/li><li>There seems to be a feeling amongst the LTFT trainees that we are thought to be less hard-working. This really isn\u2019t the case!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of us say that we don\u2019t quite feel as \u2018immersed\u2019 in the job as we used to. When doing a full-time role, you would spend much more time at work than at home. You\u2019d get to know patients more, get to know staff more, you\u2019d learn the ins and outs of the job a lot quicker. Whereas on LTFT, you don\u2019t feel 100% \u2018part of the furniture\u2019 as it were and sometimes, people may wonder why you\u2019re not up to the level of someone who works full time, but it\u2019s just because you\u2019re only there 60% of the time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"nhsuk-card__description\">Introduction Many thanks to our current LTFT trainees who have contributed their time, experiences and advice to make this section [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":122,"featured_media":0,"parent":2285,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-2731","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
