How to Apply
Applications are open between 22 January 2007 and 4 February.
A new web-based application system, Medical Training Application Service (MTAS), will be introduced to support trust and deanery recruitment to the Foundation Programme and to the new specialist run-through training programmes. MTAS aims to enable the NHS to streamline its medical appointment processes and reduce related administration and advertising costs. The service will operate across the UK.
There is a detailed guide to recruitment and selection into specialty training, available from the MMC website, which is a highly recommended resource for applicants.

Who is eligible
There will be specialist/GP competitive run-through training opportunities for doctors:- successfully completing the Foundation Programme in July 2007 or in the case of non-UK graduates demonstrating equivalence
- currently in Senior House Officer (SHO) or Non-Consultant Career Grade (NCCG) posts.
Doctors will apply to specialist/GP training programmes through a simplified, co-ordinated process that will cut down on the present complex multi-application system.
For the first time, there will be national, standardised documentation (for example, application forms and person specifications).
The timetable for recruitment and selection will be nationally co-ordinated so that successful ‘foundation doctors’ will be able to enter a specialist/GP training programme directly from the Foundation Programme. There will be a simultaneous application process for SHOs and others.
Recruitment and selection will be fair, open and legally robust. Selection methods will be specialty specific, but the minimum requirement will be a formal interview. The methodology is being designed by leading educationalists and recruitment specialists.
Doctors will compete for places in specialist training programmes with other doctors at similar levels of experience and competence.
During the first year of transition in 2007, competitive entry to specialty will be available at a number of levels, so that doctors who currently have different ranges of experience and competences can enter run-through at the most appropriate level. Those who are completing foundation training and with limited SHO experience will compete for entry at the beginning of specialist training (ST1), while doctors with more experience in a specialtywill have the opportunity to compete to enter the programmes at appropriately advanced stages (ST2, ST3, ST4).
