National Recruitment to Psychiatry in England and Wales

National recruitment details are updated as they become available so please check this site regularly.


The Royal College of Psychiatrists coordinates national recruitment to core psychiatry training at year 1 (CT1) and to specialty training at year 4 (ST4) in all six psychiatric specialties in England. Wales participates in national recruitment at CT1 level only.

 

Northern Ireland and Scotland continue to operate their own application systems for recruitment to psychiatry. To find out more about training opportunities in those countries please visit the relevant websites: Northern Ireland Medical and Dental Training Agency and Scottish Medical Training.

 

This website contains all the relevant information, including eligibility, participating deaneries, the sample application form, interviews and estimated number of vacancies. Please use the links to the left of this page to access the required information.

 

If you are interested in CT1 / ST4 training in psychiatry in England or CT1 training in Wales you will only be able to apply for training posts through the College online recruitment portal.
