Person Specifications
Each specialty (and the level at which you would be entering
training) has a nationally agreed person specification that lists
the required competences for that specialty. In making an
application, you will need to provide evidence to prove that you
have achieved the specified competences.
If you are applying for an Academic Clinical Fellowship (ACF),
you will need to meet the criteria in both the clinical person
specification for your chosen specialty and level and the ACF
person specification.
Person specifications for 2010 are available below and are
grouped into the following areas.
Follow the links in each table to view or download the person
specifications as pdfs.

Run through specialties
Notes for run through
specialties:
Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgery are offering
a mixed economy entry for 2010 with ST1 being available at the
following deaneries (Northern, North Western, West Midlands and
Yorkshire & the Humber).
General Notes:
Successful completion of an acute medicine themed acute care
common stem programme will provide eligibility for training at ST3
in the medical specialties. However, for anaesthetics, a further
specialty specific CT2 is linked to the anaesthetic themed acute
care common stem CT1 and CT2. This means that offers for this
specialty will be for three years of core training.
Core training for emergency medicine is to be extended to three
years, followed by competitive entry to ST4. Entry to training in
emergency medicine is through a themed core programme within the
acute care common stem, CT1 and CT2, followed by a specialty
specific CT3.
Clinical radiology level ST1 welcomes applicants from ST1, 2, 3
and CT 1, 2, 3 in acute care clinical specialties, such as
medicine, surgery and paediatrics. It is also possible to apply
direct from Foundation training.
