Self-assessment and verification

How self-assessment works and how you will submit evidence.

Verification process

There are 2 parts to this process.

Self-assessment/unverified score

The self-assessment will be completed online as part of the Oriel application. Your self-assessment score will then be verified by a panel comprising of Clinical Radiology Consultants. It is crucial that you complete your self-assessment honestly and accurately at the time of application. It is not possible to change your self-assessment score after you have submitted your application under any circumstances.  

Your self-assessment score, as submitted on your application form will be verified and contribute towards your overall score.

You will be provided with further instructions about how to upload evidence to the evidence portal in due course. You should ensure that you present the evidence in the requested format. Failure to do so could result in your evidence being rejected and/or the self-assessment score being revised downwards. 

• Self-assessment scores cannot be changed once your application has been submitted. 
• Recruitment administrative team are unable to provide guidance on the score you should select.   
• Recruitment administrative team are unable to change any scores at any stage of your application process.
• Recruitment administrators will not be able to upload evidence on behalf of applicants and candidates are advised to use their best judgement to this regard. 
• Scoring and uploading evidence is mandatory and failure to do so will result in your application being withdrawn.

Uploading evidence

Shortlisted applicants will be invited to upload evidence of their achievements to the Evidence Upload Portal. The upload window will open by Monday 3 February to Thursday 13 February 2025 (subject to change).

Applicants will be provided with further instructions about how to upload evidence to the evidence portal in due course. Applicants should ensure that they present the evidence in the requested format.

Failure to submit all evidence by the stated deadline will result in your application form being withdrawn by the recruitment team.

Please report any issues with uploading evidence prior to the deadline as once the deadline for submission has passed, applicant access will be withdrawn.

Once the deadline for submission has passed, applicant access will be withdrawn. There is no further opportunity to add in any documentation after the deadline has passed.

Verified score process

On completion of the verification process, applicants will be sent their verified score, together with the verification panel’s feedback explaining any changes to score.

This will be sent via Qpercom and may go to your junk folder. If you have not received the scoresheet by Friday 28 February 2025, please contact us.

Verification appeals

If you disagree with the score awarded (not the score you have given yourself), you can submit an appeal.

You will not be able to submit any additional evidence at this point.

You will be sent a link to a MS form in the message you are to email your scoresheet to.

You will need to complete this if you wish to submit an appeal. Only select the domain/s you want reviewed and provide a rationale behind why your evidence submitted should have scored higher.

The appeals window is 72 hours from the scoresheets being sent to submitting your appeal. Appeal requests received after the deadline will not be considered.

Appeal requests  received after the 72-hour deadline will not be considered. The outcome of the appeal is final and there is no further recourse for dissatisfied applicants and the recruitment office will not engage in further discussion. Disagreements over self-assessment scores fall out of scope of the MDRS Complaints Policy.

A combination of your verified evidence score and total score at interview will be used to determine your final total score and ranking.
