Less Than Full Time & Flexible Working

Improving your wellbeing and experience

Dr Katherine Rouse (SAS Doctor in Anaesthesia & ICM at DMH) is the Trusts Champion of Flexible Working. She is the point of contact and expertise for LTFT issues, advocating for trainees where this is helpful, and promoting and improving existing support. Katherine works closely with the Guardian of Safe Working and the SuppoRRT Champion, liaising with the Medical Education Department and Clinical/Educational Supervisors.

Katherine's aim is to improve the working lives of Resident Doctors working LTFT within the Trust, which in turn often leads to an improvement in overall wellbeing.

The Champion will also help Trainees to understand and feedback on the relevant policies and processes, and to inform the Trust about how these practices are working on the ground.
