College News - 201121 October 2011 GMC Statement on Less Than Full Time TrainingFollowing a review, the General Medical Council (GMC) has decided that a minimum time requirement for Less Than Full Time training should be re-established and that, with immediate effect, trainees will be required to undertake no less than 50% of full time training. For the small number of trainees who experience exceptional difficulties, it has been agreed that postgraduate deans should have flexibility to reduce the time requirement further. The absolute minimum would be 20% of full-time training, with an expectation that trainees should not undertake a placement at this level for more than 12 months.
