Requesting Feedback

If you are unsuccessful at any stage in the recruitment process you have the right to request feedback from the deanery.

Information about where to send your request will be available on the Deanery's website. Your written request should state your full name, GMC number, specialty and level applied for.

If you feel you have been unfairly scored, there is a complaints procedure in each deanery.


Shortlisting feedback

Applicants who contact deaneries for their shortlisting scores should receive a copy of the following information:

  • Rank and/or score
  • Total number of applicants
  • Rank and/or score required to gain an interview

Applicants who write or phone for more specific feedback on their application form will be asked to meet with either their Educational Supervisor in the first instance or, if not readily available, someone who has previously and recently been involved in recruitment and selection for their specialty, who will be able to go through their form with them.

Any requests for further details other than those outlined above will be dealt with by deaneries under the DPA.


Interview feedback

After the interview, you can write or email requesting feedback from the relevant deanery. You should be sent a copy of the following information within 40 days of your request:

  • Your rank and/or score
  • Rank required to receive an offer
  • Total number of applicants interviewed

You can also write or email to request copies of your interview score sheets, which will be anonymised.
