Appointability, preferencing and offers

Below is a summary of post interview processes.

Preferencing

You will be able to preference posts between the preference opening and closing dates (by 5pm Tuesday 1 April 2025 to Tuesday 8 April 2025). After the first iteration of offers are made, preferencing will reopen between offer iterations, in light of enhanced preferencing.

For full guidance on preferencing, please refer to the Medical Specialty Recruitment pages.

Appointability

Following interview and ranking, you will either be deemed as appointable or unappointable and will be informed of this via Oriel. 

Your final score will be made up of your verified score and interview score.

Appointability will be determined using criteria reference initially, and should we not find enough candidates appointable at this stage, a peer based reference will be used.

Offers

Offers will be made to those successful applicants that have ‘matched’ to a post and will be based on your ranking and preferences. Offers will be made via Oriel by by 5pm Tuesday 15 April 2025.

Following initial offers being released, further offers will be made in subsequent iterations.

You have 48 hours from the time of offer (excluding weekends) to confirm via Oriel whether you wish to accept, reject or hold your offer. Offers made after the hold deadline will only have the option to accept or reject.

References

References will only be requested when an offer has been accepted. Please note that late references will need to be sent directly to the trust.

Scoresheet release

Scoresheets will be released to all applicants on a specified date and so you do not need to request your scoresheets after interview.

Allocation

Once you have accepted a Clinical Radiology post, your information will be passed to their relevant region who will contact you directly to complete the allocation process.

Deferral

Further information on how to request a deferred start date or training Less Than Full Time (LTFT) can be found on the Medical Specialty Recruitment pages.

Next steps/roles and responsibilities

Your details will be passed on to the local training programme director around 14 weeks prior to your start date and to the first trust you have been appointed to 12 weeks prior to your start date. Therefore, you should not expect to receive any communication prior to this time.
