Maternity and Paternity Leave

For ACFs:

• Maternity/paternity leave is governed by the terms and conditions of service associated with your NHS contract as a trainee doctor.
• As with any employment, you have the right to return to the NIHR ACF post on the same terms and conditions after ordinary or supplemental maternity/paternity leave

For CLs:

• Maternity/paternity leave is governed by the terms and conditions of service associated with your employment contract.
• You have the right to return to the NIHR CL post on the same terms and conditions after ordinary or supplemental maternity/paternity leave.

You should be aware, however, that as your substantive employer will now be a university your previous service in the NHS will not normally count towards your entitlement to maternity/paternity leave and pay.
