During postgraduate gastroenterology specialty training in the UK, a number of opportunities will arise for which a trainee may want to take some time out of their specialty training programme-that is, an out of programme (OOP) activity.There are four types1 of OOP activity: - Time out of programme for approved clinical training (OOPT), which needs to be prospectively approved by the Joint Royal Colleges of Physicians Training Board (JRCPTB). This will count towards the certificate of completion of training (CCT). Clinical experience which has not been approved by the JRCPTB and which will not contribute towards an award of a CCT (OOPE).
