Here you can download the pdf of the Quick Guide to Recruitment in 2012 using the link at the bottom of the page.

The Quick Guide, published on 8th October 2011 is a resource that will help to guide you through the essentials of the recruitment process and tells you what to expect, what is involved, how the recruitment process works and where to find out more.

This year the Quick Guide talks about the UK Offers System website that you will be required to register to, please note that the UK Offers System website will only be used by the following deaneries and specialities:

If you are applying to any of the specialites managed by deaneries listed above you will be required to register with the UK Offers System website.  You can find out more about this by going to the UK Offers System section of the website.

For applicants applying to deaneries and specialties that are not listed above you will receive your offer direct form the recruitment team within each deanery and not via the UK Offers System.  Full details on how to apply for each specialty can be found on the websites of each organisation.

All first offers in Round 1 GP and specialty recruitment will be issued UK wide by 9th March 2012.  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.
