Vacancies and preferencing

We publish indicative post numbers so applicants can get an idea of where potential training posts will be.

NHS England is responsible for educating and training doctors, dentists, nurses and all healthcare professionals in England.

Medical and Dental training programmes in England are managed locally by NHS Englands local offices.

Training programmes in Wales are managed by Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW). 

Training programmes in Northern Ireland and Scotland continue to be managed by deaneries. 

See our latest vacancy numbers below. Please note that these may be subject to change throughout the recruitment round.

All applicants who have applied will be advised through Oriel of the posts available in this round. This will be after the closing date.

You'll be invited to preference available posts prior to offers being issued. Offers will then be made on the basis of your performance at the selection centre.

Numbers are indicative only. Posts will only be confirmed when preferencing is undertaken.

There may be a degree of flexibility regarding start date.

Preferences

Preferencing means ranking posts to tell us which ones you’d most and least like to be appointed to. The preferencing process happens after you've submitted an application but before offers have been made.
