Person Specifications 2011
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 2011 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.
