CT1 Anaesthetics/ACCS Anaesthetics Person specification

Applicants that fail to demonstrate that they meet all the essential criteria by the closing date for applications will not progress any further.

It is the applicant's responsibility to fully demonstrate their eligibility for the post applied for.

Assessment of Foundation Competency

Applicants to CT1/ST1 training programmes are required to provide evidence of having met the UK Foundation Programme competences, or equivalent.

Details on methods of demonstrating foundation competence can be found in the Foundation Competencies page.

Document upload

As applicants progress through the recruitment process, they may be required to upload additional evidence to their application on Oriel to allow ANRO to assess their eligibility.

If applicants are required to do this, then in order to help ANRO, the following steps must be followed.

Applicants must:

  • Ensure that the document is appropriately named
  • Ensure the document is uploaded to the correct section
  • Upload the document as one single upload and not as multiple pages where possible
  • Ensure all required documentation is uploaded by the set deadlines

ANRO reserves the right to request re-submission of documentation if the above process is not followed.

Important: Applicants are advised not to upload anything other than documents to support the longlisting process.
