Round 2
After round 1 is complete, a second round of recruitment will be held which opens for applications in late-summer.
We have added a separate page with information about round 2.
2026 recruitment
Details on recruitment to physician higher specialty training programmes starting from August 2026 will be added to this website during autumn 2025.
Local recruitment
In the meantime, there may be short-term PHST-level non-training posts being recruited to locally by hospitals.
Usually this will take the form of LAS (locum appointment for service) posts, and recruitment procedures and requirements will be set by the appointing region/hospital. Where posts are advertised depends on the nation where the post is based:
- England and Wales: http://www.jobs.nhs.uk/
- Scotland: https://jobs.scot.nhs.uk/
- Northern Ireland: http://www.hscrecruit.com/
As this recruitment is carried out locally, vacancies could be advertised at any time and so you are advised to check back regularly if you are interested in seeking a post.
