Application score matrix for 2025 recruitment

A document with the planned application scoring matrix for recruitment to posts starting from August 2025 has been published to the Document Library of the website. There are significant changes to the guidance and scoring so we have published this in advance of applications to give prospective applicants time to plan.

Each domain was reviewed between September and November 2023 by a group of clinical leads from PSRO-coordinated specialties with representation from the three colleges’ Trainees’ Committees. The document applies to all specialties coordinated by the Physician Specialty Recruitment Office; this includes: 

• Internal Medicine Training and ACCS internal medicine at IMT1/CT1-level
• 25 physician higher specialties at ST3/ST4-level.

It cannot be guaranteed that there will not be any changes to the matrix detailed in this document but where these are necessary, they will be kept to a minimum.
