It is accepted by DOH, NHS Scotland and NHS Wales that the responsibility of consultants to the wider NHS must be recognised. 2. This must be taken in context with the delivery of service and duties to the employing trust. 3. Before taking on an examining role, consultants should discuss the implications with their clinical director and/or medical director. 4. It is recognised that when a consultant takes on external duties such as examining they may be required to give up other external activities. 5. The allowance of time to undertake such duties should be agreed in advance at annual job planning and the required notice (typically 6 weeks) given for cancellation of sessions. 6. Where possible examining time should be taken as part of supporting activities (2.5 per week is the bench mark for a full time appointment which can be annualised) and changes to job plans implemented to ensure minimum impact on clinical PAs, eg if a meeting regularly occurs on a fixed day, free that day up in the diary. 7. It may be possible to be flexible in the delivery of service, and if absence requires cancellation of clinical PAs to rearrange them for another time when usually undertaking supporting activities. 8. Typically, consultants are allowed up to 10 days study / professional leave per year or 30 days per 3 years. By prior agreement with their clinical/medical director a further discretionary 10 days for professional leave for other health service related activities such as examining can usually be negotiated. Any more than this would usually need the agreement of the medical director. Consultants should always follow their own trusts policy and seek agreement for the leave well in advance always bearing in mind points 6 and 7. 9. When examining in an international centre, a consultant must expect to take at least part if not all of this as annual leave unless agreed in advance. Professional leave can usually only be given for the actual days when exams occur. 10. Not all consultants in a given service can be examiners at the same time.
