Multi-Specialty Recruitment Assessment (MSRA)

The Multi-Specialty Recruitment Assessment (MSRA) is a computer-based assessment. It assesses essential competences in the person specification through clinical scenarios.

All applicants will be invited to attend the MSRA.

Attendance at this assessment is mandatory for applicants to Ophthalmology and candidates who fail to attend the assessment will be withdrawn from the selection process. Scores from previous years or rounds cannot be carried forward.

The assessment will be available be undertaken at Pearson Professional Examinations Centres.

Invitations to book the assessment will be sent early in December and will be messaged through Oriel.

A text message will also be sent so we recommend that you do not opt out of receiving text messages when you register.

Other specialties will also be using the MSRA within their selection processes and candidates applying to a combination of the specialties will only be required to sit the assessment once.

There will be places for all candidates to sit the assessment, but some centres may have limited availability, with spaces being reserved on a first come first served basis so it is important for you to book your slot as soon as possible.
