Recruitment
CT1 & ACCS Recruitment
Recruitment for CT1 and ACCS is national, co-ordinated by the West Midlands Deanery. Round One applications for 2012 are now closed. Round one interviews are being held in January.
CT2 & ST3 Recruitment
Recruitment for February 2012 has finished. Offers have been sent out.
2012 recruitment is being done nationally, co-ordinated through the West Midlands deanery. Applications are completed online. Candidates can choose two units of application (geographical regions) and if they are shortlisted, they may be interviewed by either or both of these. Candidates will be scored and ranked at interview and, if successful, will be offered one place.
Candidates who have passed the MCQ section of the primary FRCA before the closing date for applications, and who intend to sit the SOE/OSCE at the next sitting, may apply for ST3 posts. If they are successful at interview, they will be offered a place conditional on passing the SOE/OSCE. This will not be the case from 2013, when only candidates holding the full primary FRCA will be eligible to apply for ST3 posts. See RCoA website for more details.
Following the SOE/OSCE, conditional offers will be confirmed or withdrawn.
Following this process, there will be a recycling of offers to appointable candiates. When the list of appointable candidates has been exhausted, a clearing process will begin. Candidates may be offered interviews at other deaneries.
Candidates who have not yet passed the primary SOE/OSCE may apply for CT2 and ST3 posts. They will be able to hold offers for both posts until the results of the May sitting of the SOE/OSCE.
Candidates from non UK/EEA countries will only be considered once the list of UK/EEA candidates has been exhausted.
Adverts will appear on NHS Jobs website and in the BMJ. Applications will be through I:CAMS.
Dr James Dawson, SpR Anaesthesia Nottingham, is an elected memeber of the RCOA trainee commitee and will be be able to assist with any regional recruitemnt queries you may have.
