This will depend upon your current status and level of training; trainees with different experience will be required to give different evidence.
The application form will guide you on this but please also visit the foundation competences page of this website for more information.
Please note - if you are not currently on, or have not previously completed, a UK/UK-affiliated foundation programme, you will likely be required to submit a completed 'Certificate of Readiness to Enter Specialty Recruitment' as evidence of your foundation competence.
Only the 2024 version of this certificate will be accepted and this must have been signed by a supervisor that you have worked with for at least three consecutive months since February 2022.
Information on this can also be found on the foundation competence page of this website; with further guidance on the certificate itself which is available to be downloaded from the document library.
The short answer here is no, as only the 2024 version of the Certificate of Readiness to Enter Specialty Training will be accepted and each applicant may only submit one version of the certificate to demonstrate a full set of foundation competences.
Restrictions no longer apply apply to candidates whose employment will be subject to the resident labour market test (RLMT). We will therefore be accepting applications from those who would have been subject to the RLMT prior to this change.
You can, the person specification states: If you have previously resigned, or been removed from a training programme in any specialty, you must obtain a Support for Reapplication to Specialty Training form signed by the Training Programme Director/Head of School and Postgraduate Dean from the region you previously undertook training in. This must be submitted with your application.
This means that if you started any training programme and exited prematurely, your application can only be considered if accompanied by a completed form. The form will state the recruitment year to which it relates. You must ensure you are using the correct form for the recruitment year; forms used in previous recruitment years will not be accepted.
If you need a form, you are advised to contact your training region as early as possible to ensure it is ready to submit with your application.
In short, no.
Speaking generally, you would only be considered to have relinquished a programme in regards to this question if you had physically begun the programme, before leaving at a later stage.
If you applied in a previous round, and then withdrew your application, this would not be classed as relinquishing; even if you withdrew after accepting an offer. If your withdrawal came before you started, this would just be regarded as a withdrawal of your application, rather than relinquishing a place on a programme.
