The Quick Guide, published on 22 October 2010, explained about a
single online system to be used for issuing first offers in Round 1
of GP and specialty recruitment 2011 - the UK Offers for
Medical Specialty Training website. The Quick Guide
included a note to expect an email from this single online system
requesting that you log in and verify your contact details
immediately following your application submission.
Please note that proposals to implement a
single online system for issuing Round 1 offers in 2011 has been
deferred until 2012.
In practice, this decision will have minimal
impact for you, except that you need to note there is a change in
the method for receiving Round 1 offers from that described in the
Quick Guide to recruitment in 2011 and also featured in
the 6 November issue of BMJ Careers.
This “log in and verification” process will no
longer be required as you will receive Round 1 offers direct from
the recruitment offices you apply to.
All first offers in Round 1 GP and specialty recruitment will be
issued UK wide by 11 March 2011. When you receive a Round 1 offer,
you will be asked to accept, hold or reject within 48 hours
(including weekends and bank holidays). You will be able to hold
one Round 1 offer (and only one) while waiting for other Round 1
offers.

application and selection process for Specialty Training (England)
