Summary of changes for 2024 recruitment

You can find the central guidance on the Medical Specialty Recruitment pages. You must read these pages and the Medical Specialty Recruitment pages before beginning your application.   

As part of the Oriel application form you will be asked to provide a self-assessment score depending on your personal achievements. You will then be invited to upload evidence of your achievements to the Evidence Upload Portal. The evidence you upload will be reviewed by a team of consultants. They will verify that you have claimed the correct number of points and can change your score if they feel your evidence merits a different score from your self-assessment. This produces your verified evidence score. 

In line with interview capacity, shortlisted candidates with the highest scores will be invited to attend a remote interview. Each candidate will have a 50-minute interview assessing a clinical scenario, a management scenario, a communication skills scenario and a virtual operative skills station. 

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