Where to go next
A short resource map for each stage
Use the official vacancy and registration sources for facts; use focused guides for the part of preparation you need today. Specialty guides complement rather than replace the local person specification.
Explore and compare posts
Start at NHS Jobs, check the job pack and use the post comparison guide for grade, rota and supervision.
Eligibility and evidence
Check GMC, sponsorship if relevant, current contract guidance and the actual essentials. Then prepare a truthful statement and evidence pack.
Interview
Choose the appropriate clinical and non-clinical focused guides; then practise with the exact job pack and your CV at the Clinical Fellow product route.
Next training step
If pursuing national training, read the specialty-specific 2027 eligibility and CREST instructions and use the corresponding specialty hub—not a generic fellow scoring scheme.
Finish with something usable
Choose one resource for the task in front of you
Stop reading when you have the output needed for the next decision. More open tabs do not necessarily improve an application.
Applying: leave with an evidence map
Use the person specification and supporting-statement worksheet. Output: each essential criterion has evidence, a location in the application or a question to resolve with the recruiter.
Interviewing: leave with one practised answer
Use the motivation guide with your actual pack. Output: a short spoken answer connecting the service's work, your readiness and one honest learning need; then practise one follow-up about a limitation.
Considering an offer: leave with an unknowns list
Use the comparison guide. Output: the two or three unanswered questions that could change your decision, the person who can answer each and the written record you need.
