 | Communicate – Meet up with your job share prior to returning to work – Discuss how to split shifts – Discuss how you will handover and communicate key facts with each other. Ensuring continuity of patient care leads to better job satisfaction – Join the network of LTFT trainees – ask questions, share experiences |
 | Be Proactive – Maximise learning opportunities. There can be a risk/fear of missing educational opportunities but there are plenty available |
 | Set realistic goals – Work with others to achieve goals – Don’t try to squeeze a full-time job into part time hours. A reduction in salary is due to reduction in hours worked – Use the longer training time to your advantage, rotate into varied specialities – If possible, have flexible childcare arrangements to allow for changes in rotation, staff sickness etc. |
 | Prioritise – If training is required on non-working days, if possible, claim it back in lieu. If this isn’t feasible focus on events that are important to you |
