On the whole round 2 runs very similarly to round 1. The main difference is that in round 2 not all specialties participate. Participating specialties will be confirmed in the run-up to the application opening date for the round and the 'Planning your application' section of each specialty's page indicates the likelihood of that specialty participation, based on previous years.
Regions will make available any programmes which were either not filled in round 1 or have subsequently become available.
An addendum to the applicants' guide has been published to the document library of the website. This details anything which is different about round 2 to round 1 and also confirms the specialties participating and interview dates; these are also available on the relevant page for each specialty . The FAQs area contains a section on round 2 with further guidance on common questions.
