Specialties participating and Interview dates

The following specialties will be participating in the second round. Specialties not listed below will not be participating. Provisional interview dates have been published to each specialty page, so please visit the ‘Interview dates & posts’ tab to view these. At present, we are still awaiting confirmation from a few specialties as to their interview dates. The specialty pages will be updated with these once confirmed. Where known, the evidence upload window dates will also be published: 

 MRCP

To ensure that you receive your results for each examination before the deadline of 21 October, the latest examination diet for which you can be considered for this round are as follows:

• Part 2 – 2025/02
• PACES – 2025/02; although examination dates around the start of the 2025/03 window will have their results just before the deadline, as most will not be in time, the decision is that no results from this diet can be accepted to ensure equity for all applicants.

Applicants requiring the full MRCP(UK), who have not completed it prior to these diets, and have not applied to these diets for their outstanding part(s), will not be eligible and should expect their application to be withdrawn. 

Post numbers

Indicative post numbers will also be published to each specialty’s page once these have been confirmed, so please do check back here; we hope to have these published on the website by 18 July.

Applicant Guide

The applicant guide is not yet confirmed for 2025 R2. It will be uploaded to the website as soon as possible. Please note that no major changes are expected to be made to the current published process.
