As per the NHS England Yorkshire and the Humber Out of Programme (OOP) Guidance, postgraduate doctors and dentists in training (excluding those on the Foundation training programme) are required to give a minimum of six months’ notice when submitting an application to go out of programme.
To assist postgraduate doctors and dentists when making their application, we have created submission windows based on the start date of the OOP being requested. This will ensure that sufficient notice is provided by the applicant and that the administrative team can prioritise approval of applications in chronological order.
From 1 June 2024, postgraduate doctors and dentists must submit their OOP application to the relevant School mailbox in line with the timeline below.
