Indicative post numbers

Indicative vacancy numbers are available in the table below, broken down by region. These may be presented as a range (e.g 1-4) as it is not always possible for regions to know at this stage how many vacancies there will be.

It is it the intention that indicative post numbers for all participating regions will be published prior to the application opening date, although this cannot be guaranteed. Please note that this table is not likely to be updated after indicative numbers and actual numbers will be confirmed when programme preferences are opened later in the round.

Numbers subject to change

Please be aware that it is not uncommon for vacancy numbers to change as the round progresses.

More commonly, post vacancy numbers can increase as the round goes on (and confirmation of posts becomes available); but it is also possible that numbers can reduce as well.

It is expected that there will be an increase in the number of posts late in the process, once initial offers have been confirmed. This is because progress of existing IMY2 trainees may mean additional posts can be identified. The indicative post numbers detailed here do not take this into account as it is difficult to predict how many there are likely to be.
