Due to the COVID-19 pandemic there will be some significant changes to the process compared to previous years. All interviews will be delivered online in a similar format to 2020 round 2, which has just completed interviews. Although the process may see some changes, the applicant guide addendum which is available from the Document Library, is an indication of what you might expect.
In this section you can find the overall timetable for round 1 of the 2021 recruitment year (below). You can find the overall timetable for Round 2 by clicking on the "2021 Round 2" tab on the grey menu above.
Interview dates for each specialty will be published in the 'Interview dates and posts' section of each specialty's page of the website.
Dates subject to change
