Deferral or Postponement to start of training programme
Currently deferral of training programme start date is only permitted for statutory reasons (ie sick leave/maternity/paternity/adoption leave and ill health). However, on exceptional occasion a short-term postponement may be of benefit to the trainee and training .
If you would like to be considered for either a deferral or postponement to start of training programme please carefully read the guidance below which detail the eligibility criteria and application process.
Once you have read the documents you should complete the online OOP application via Turas and follow the steps as per the process below.
If you have any questions please contact your training programme administrator. You may also wish to review the information on our Trainee Development and Wellbeing service pages. If it would be helpful to speak to one of the Associate Deans who work in the service you can request an appointment by using the contact us forms. There is information about the kind of topics the service might be able to assist you with online, but please be aware that our Associate Deans are unable to help with issues pertaining to Visas or arranging accommodation; matters such as these should be addressed by the relevant HR team dealing with your onboarding.
