Anaesthesia, Emergency Medicine and Acute Medicine
Anaesthesia
Anaesthesia CT1 and ACCS (Anaesthesia) CT1 will be recruited as one process via National Anaesthetics Recruitment Office (ANRO) led by Health Education England, West Midlands.
This is a separate process from ACCS (Emergency Medicine) and ACCS (Acute Medicine) and requires a separate application form.
Applicants who wish to follow a career in Anaesthesia should apply with a single application form for both Anaesthetics CT1 and ACCS (Anaesthetics). The application form will ask you to indicate whether you wish to be considered for CT1 Anaesthesia and / or ACCS (Anaesthesia). The ANRO will request more details on preference of programmes at a later date.
If you are thinking of applying, have a look at the ‘self-assessment scoring’ section of the application and discuss this with your ES.
ACCS (Emergency Medicine)
Applicants who wish to follow a career in Emergency Medicine should apply for ST1/CT1 ACCS (EM) via Health Education England London & South East (LaSE).
This is a separate process from ACCS (Anaes) and ACCS (Acute Medicine) and requires a separate application using an Emergency Medicine application form.
All eligible applicants will be interviewed at an assessment centre within close proximity to their geographical location on the dates outlined on the website by clicking here.
Preference for Unit of Application will be asked for at application. Following interview, places in programmes will be allocated according to rank and expressed preference for programme. Once a post in Emergency Medicine is accepted (or held) there can be automatic upgrade to a higher preference post within Emergency Medicine should this become available.
ACCS (Acute Medicine)
Applicants who wish to follow a career in Acute Medicine or acute medical specialties should apply for CT1 ACCS (AM) via the Royal College Physicians as part of Core Medical Training recruitment.
This is a separate process from ACCS (Anaes) and ACCS (Emergency Medicine) and requires a separate application using the combined CMT and Acute Medicine application form.
Please note: Advice from Intercollegiate Committee ACCS Training
Recruitment to ACCS will be by separate streams, dependent on intended parent specialty. The first two years of ACCS share a common curriculum, and any competences acquired are transferable. However, it is not possible to switch between specialty career paths without a further competitive selection process. Applicants are therefore advised to select their initial specialty of choice with care.
