Approval process
The approval process in ALM will differ depending on whether trainees are applying for Study Leave or Study Leave for Regional Teaching. Applications for Study Leave will be approved by a Training Programme Director. Applications for Regional Teaching will be approved by Medical Education.
Before submitting an application on ALM, trainees must have agreement from their Educational Supervisor that the activity is educationally appropriate and have followed local processes to secure the agreement of their Rota Coordinator to take the time off.
Existing study leave applications that were fully approved before the roll out (14th February) will be honoured. If you have an existing application which received supervisor and Training Programme Director approval before this date, you do not need to reapply using ALM.
