Getting Support
If you need assistance when applying for leave, please review our guidance pages on requesting leave and expenses and/or the Study Leave Policy and guidance documents provided on our Resources & Guidance page (www.eastmidlandsdeanery.nhs.uk/policies/study_leave/ResourcesGuidance).
You may also wish to contact your Programme Office (Primary Care) or local Study Leave Co-ordinator (Foundation/Secondary Care), who are usually based in your local Education Centre. Depending on your query, you may need to contact an NHSE East Midlands team. A list of all Study Leave Coordinators, relevant NHSE teams and their contact details is available at the bottom of this page.
We also have new guidance available on the NHS Learning Hub, specifically about study leave in the East Midlands and Accent Leave Manager.
If you're unsure who to contact with your query, please check the below FAQs.
For any queries about Accent Course Manager (which is a different product to Leave Manager), please email FacultySupport.em@hee.nhs.uk with the email subject "Course Manager query".
Placements are all managed by our Programmes Team; please contact the team on the appropriate address below:
- For doctors in Foundation programmes: FoundationProgrammes.EM@hee.nhs.uk
- For doctors in General Practice programmes: GPProgrammes.EM@hee.nhs.uk
- For all other doctors on East Midlands training programmes: SpecialtyProgrammes.EM@hee.nhs.uk
Remember that expenses are not processed by NHSE or automatically by Leave Manager; you will need to submit these through your employer's system. For exceptions to the reimbursement process (specified programmes) please visit our Resources page.
Please contact the Study Leave Coordinator for your current placement (rather than the placement at the time of the study leave) first; they will manage processing your expenses claim through your employer's system. If there is a technical issue, they will redirect your query to the NHSE Study Leave Team, but only if necessary.
Postgraduate learner details are primarily managed by our Programmes Team; please contact the team on the appropriate address below:
- For doctors in Foundation programmes: FoundationProgrammes.EM@hee.nhs.uk
- For doctors in General Practice programmes: GPProgrammes.EM@hee.nhs.uk
- For all other doctors on East Midlands training programmes: SpecialtyProgrammes.EM@hee.nhs.uk
