The method of applying has changed. All applications are now dealt with centrally by the National Recruitment Office for General Practice Training: www.gprecruitment.org.uk

• Completion of on-line application form
• Applicants successful at the long-listing stage are invited to attend the Stage 2 Assessment which consists of two papers completed under invigilated conditions.  The two papers are centred on Clinical Problem Solving and Professional Dilemmas
• Candidates are then invited to attend a Selection Centre dependent on their Stage 2 assessment score, geographical preference and availability of places.   At the Selection Centre you will be asked to undertake a series of exercises observed by trained assessors.   The exercises undertaken are a simulated patient consultation, a group exercise and a written exercise.   No interviews are held.
• Successful candidates will be allocated to programmes depending upon their performance at the Selection Centre, the training programme required and the availability of vacancies.
