I like that. Can't you just imagine orthopaedics having "ST£" training? Do you think plastics have ST££ training, or maybe ST$ training? I don't think ST€ training is universally accepted on all PCs, at least not while Gordon Brown is still around.

That amount of people would never have been shortlisted previously, but around half have been recommended to be guaranteed an interview for 1st and 2nd choices. How can you logistically interview that many.

Is this simply conversation to keep our mail-boxes full? I believe that the candidate should not be able to modify the references requested (ie excluding the bad ones) My experience of the appointment process in the West Midlands reflect others - ie serious concern about the design and content of application forms used, and time allocated, for shortlisting. Here the interviews have been similar in every way to multi-station interviews for EM used in this region for registrar appointment previously - including every candidates CV and supporting documentation being examined at one of the additional stations. My concern is that, whilst we interviewed many high calibre candidates who I will be very proud to work with, we do not know how many others have not had the chance to come before an interview panel. The latest advice (http://www.mmc.nhs.uk/pages/review) seems to imply that many of those set aside will have another chance - review of application or definate interview - but whether that will be fair has to be seen! My view - the main issue is that shortlisting panels were denied the chance to use the CV information to do the job. This meant that long-listing was not done then and competencies and experiences could not be judged fully.
