This report is based on the results of a survey of over 600 trainees and highlights the benefits and challenges of working less than full time (LTFT). It found that: doctors who worked LTFT were overburdened by administrative duties, proportionally more than full time colleagues; two thirds of trainees are considering LTFT training in the future; too few trainees are involved in working pattern planning; LTFT training is expensive; and there is not enough information about working LTFT.
