Abstract
Out of programme (OOP) opportunities are to be encouraged. This article gives an insightful view of the Sheffield Clinical Research Fellowship Programme. Unique trainee feedback is provided. The take home message is clear - trainees should grab OOP experiences with both hands! For consultants the logistics described are potentially transferrable to their own regions.

Abstract
In the January 2011 edition of Frontline Gastroenterology, I was the lead author of an article: Out of programme experience and training: going away to bring something back. 1 Since then, I have taken time out of my speciality training programme-an out of programme experience. I thought it would be of interest to trainees to read about how I organised my out of programme experience and how this time away has helped me to develop my unique selling point.

Abstract
Out-of-programme (OOP) activities enable postgraduate trainees to undertake an experience outside of their individual subspecialty training programmes. Activities vary but may include a period of research, additional clinical experiences or time for a planned career break. Determining whether to go OOP is a common dilemma faced by many trainees as they progress through postgraduate training. This review assesses the options trainees have with regards to going OOP, evaluates the potential advantages and disadvantages and also provides advice for those considering an OOP activity.
