Any necessary extension to certificate of completion of training (CCT) date is also negotiated and approved locally, with involvement of the Training Programme Director (TPD)/Head of School where appropriate.

Approval of the relevant Specialist Advisory Committee will be required for OOPT requests.

NTN trainees must discuss applications for chief registrar roles with their education supervisor and TPD in advance of applying. Permission to apply for the role must be obtained from the TPD.
