Registration

You can register your details on Oriel before the application window opens.

To register, go to Oriel and click on Account Registration. You will not be able to access the online application form until the application window opens.

You will be asked to provide:

• your name
• a valid email address – ensure you register with a secure and individual email address which you check regularly
• password – at least 8 characters in length and contains at least one upper case letter and one numeric value

Once the system has validated these details you will be taken to the selection page where you can choose the specialty you are applying for and the relevant recruitment round and year. You will not see details of specific posts until preferencing has opened.

All posts in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales will be recruited in accordance with the specifications. Applicants are advised to read the FAQs available via these web pages. In particular, the criteria around eligibility are very specific and careful attention should be paid to these in advance of an application for public health specialty training.
