← All pathways Before you begin Understand what your estimate includes. Written-application rubric self-check, maximum 30 per assessor. Two clinical assessors independently judge the quality, relevance and reflection in your descriptions; this estimate does not predict their combined score out of 60. No supporting documents are uploaded for shortlisting: evidence means your written examples. Follow each 50-word text-box limit. Shortlisting marks are not added to the interview total, but the applicant guide includes the shortlist score among tie-break criteria.

1. Transferable clinical capabilities 0 / 8 points Transferable clinical capabilities What this domain requires Up to five specific capability descriptions and reflections showing relevance to paediatrics. Each description and preparation/reflection text box has a 50-word limit.
Evidence and scoring rules Maximum two practical clinical procedures. Higher tiers require distinctly different capabilities, not multiple accounts of the same capability. Assessors judge clarity and relevance.
Your written-example self-check Choose the descriptor that best matches your written example. Your assessment may differ from the assessor's mark.
My assessment of the written example(s) Choose an answer No example · 0 points Generic description without paediatric relevance · 1 point Generic description with minimal paediatric relevance · 2 points One clear relevant example with reflection · 3 points Two clear relevant examples with reflection · 4 points Three clear relevant examples with reflection · 5 points Three clear and distinctly different relevant examples with reflection · 6 points Four clear and distinctly different relevant examples with reflection · 7 points Five clear and distinctly different relevant examples with reflection · 8 points Evidence and scoring rules checked. Include this domain. Until confirmed, this domain contributes zero to your estimate.
2. Personal achievements and reflection 0 / 8 points Personal achievements and reflection What this domain requires Up to five medical/non-medical or personal/team achievements, with specific relevance and reflection. Describe personal development or impact on others within the text-box limits.
Evidence and scoring rules Do not reuse clinical-capability examples. Five examples with repetition are not five distinctly different achievements; the official glossary gives six as a maximum for that pattern.

3. Quality improvement and audit 0 / 5 points Quality improvement and audit What this domain requires Describe up to two projects; only the best is marked. Explain your role and how/where you presented, with results, recommendations or practice changes.
Evidence and scoring rules Describe how you planned/coordinated; a bare assertion is insufficient. Audit should use standards and a defined population; QI needs evidence-based methods. You need not claim a completed second cycle when only recommendations are being described.
Your written-example self-check Choose the descriptor that best matches your written example. Your assessment may differ from the assessor's mark.
My assessment of the written example(s) Choose an answer No audit/QI · 0 points Participated without planning/coordinating · 1 point Involved in planning/coordinating · 2 points Planned/coordinated and presented good-quality work locally · 3 points As above, with results/recommendations described · 4 points Planned/coordinated and presented good-quality work regionally/nationally/internationally, with results/recommendations · 5 points Evidence and scoring rules checked.

4. Research and academic achievements 0 / 4 points Research and academic achievements What this domain requires Describe up to two examples; the best is marked. Explain your exact research role. Name a qualifying research award at the end of the final research text box if claiming the extra point.
