Application Deadline
The deadline for submitting applications is 16:00 on 12th February 2019. After this time no applications will be accepted. There will be no exceptions to this deadline. You are advised to complete and submit your application ahead of the deadline to allow for any unforeseen problems.
The eligibility criteria for entry to Oral Surgery training are listed in the 2019 Person Specification. It is an applicant’s responsibility to demonstrate that they meet the eligibility criteria.
All applications will be assessed against the eligibility criteria during longlisting. Any applications which do not meet the eligibility criteria will be longlisted out of the process and will not progress to the next stage.
“By allowing applicants to progress to the interview stage, Health Education England HAS NOT accepted or confirmed that applicants meet all eligibility requirements. This includes immigration status, evidence of achievement of Foundation competencies or equivalent, and requisite length of time in training as per the relevant national person specification. This list is not exhaustive, and is applicable to all eligibility criteria. Applicants may still be withdrawn from the application process at any stage, including after the interviews have taken place, if the evidence pertaining to an eligibility criterion is found to be unsatisfactory.”
Your responses to the Self-Assessment questions on your application form will determine your shortlisting score.
There are a limited number of interview slots available and due to the anticipated high competition ratio, we are unable to offer all applicants an interview. Applicants with the highest shortlisting scores will be invited to book an interview and all other eligible applicants will be placed on a “reserve list”. Applicants on the reserve list will be considered for an interview if another applicant withdraws from their interview.
