Glossary
Also included in this section is a glossary page, listing a number of the more common acronyms/terms used in medical recruitment.
Generally we have tried to minimise the level of jargon used throughout this website and our guidance more generally, but this is not always possible, so in some cases referring to this page may be of use.
