[QUOTE="LittleSue, post: 88724, member: 6295"] My course was a solid week, I know some places do it 1 day each week for 5 weeks. I had to tuse ake annual leave, but only because I worked through an agency and needed a sick note from the doctor even for 3 days off, no self-certifying. SSP wouldn't kick in till day 3 either. Even at the time I thought it was worth using my leave (though I had to plan carefully to ensure I'd earned enough leave). Seeing the effect it's had I'd have done it without pay! If normally employed I'd argue that time off for DAFNE is like having a pre-planned surgery and convalesence (in the case of an intensive week), or a series of outpatient appointments or investigations (if you do 1 day per week). You know when you'll be off and for how long, so work can be planned accordingly - whereas if you just catch every bug going due to poor control there's no warning. I'm amazed some courses imposed certain meals. We went to the hospital canteen together and chose what we wanted... putting what we'd learned into practice from the start. [/QUOTE]
