After submission

Junk/spam mail

Once your application has been submitted, you will receive an automatic email confirming submission. If you do not, firstly please check the 'spam' or 'junk' folders of your email account, and ensure that you are checking the account which corresponds to the email address you used to log in.

If the email is found in spam/junk, please mark it as 'not spam/junk' so that future email is delivered to your inbox. Also, please note that the email may not arrive immediately upon submission of your application. Any emails sent to you via the application system will be stored in your candidate portal - ie your 'account' visible when you log in - in the 'My Messages' section, so you will be able to view these upon logging in.

If you have still not received an email within over an hour of submitting your application, please contact our helpdesk at st3recruitment@rcplondon.ac.uk.

Post-submission editing

If you need to amend any of your personal details (eg address, telephone number, etc.) you will still be able to do this via the application system. However, it is not usually possible to alter any other details; obviously, answers to questions cannot be altered under any circumstances – even typing errors cannot be corrected – as it is the responsibility of candidates to ensure that their application is suitable for submission before they submit it.

Should you wish to amend factors such as information recorded in your Equal Opportunities section, Fitness to Practise, your email address, etc. then you should email either the deanery handling your application, or the SRO helpdesk at the above email address.

When you view your application post-submission, you will notice that the layout and format of it may be somewhat different to that seen beforehand. Please note that this is normal, and that all applications change to this layout once submitted.

We advise all candidates to save a copy of their application form - possibly as a webpage (Save As under your internet browser), or as a hard copy of a document, eg via MS Word. This would be for your own records mainly, and for future reference; but also it may be useful to read through it prior to any interview you are scheduled into, and also you may wish to refer to the form at interview.
