🔑 Key finding 4: Attitudes are shifting, although stigma remains.
Many consultants and PGTBs support LTFT in theory—but despite a lack of evidence for any significant negative impact, some trainees fear negative perceptions from others about competency & career progression. 7️⃣

🔑 Key finding 3: Work-life balance matters.
Trainees complete most mandatory training requirements in their own time. Many doctors with caring responsibilities have considered leaving their specialty due to a lack of options. LTFT could help reduce attrition and burnout. 6️⃣

🔑 Key finding 2: Postgraduate training bodies (PGTBs) could do more to support LTFT training.
Many doctors don’t even know LTFT is an option, and existing processes are complex and restrictive. Clearer guidance, better admin support, and active promotion of LTFT are needed. 5️⃣

🔑 Key finding 1: Current training structures are inflexible.
Admin challenges are real. Payroll, compliance, & rostering all become more complex with LTFT. A few trainees currently slot-share at 50% WTE, but many would prefer higher WTEs of 60–80% for a number of reasons. 4️⃣

![Quote from training administrator: "[LTFT should be] planned and in a managed way rather than, I suppose, in an ad-hoc way and sort of expecting it to work without actually putting the plan in place … saying, ‘OK, it’s flexible training and there is the option, but there’s no resources or … backup behind it.’"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pll3gwcb4hliho4a4g5r5s7p/bafkreigug2j5tfan6xi5lvl7x4bydwubjillfnupnymr3mup73b24eq77u@jpeg)
