IMPORTANT NOTES
Please note: in addition to the academic interviews, candidates will be required to attend and pass a national clinical interview for the specialty they are applying to for academic training, if appropriate. Offers made will therefore be conditional upon the applicant meeting the required standard in the clinical interview.
Applicants who already hold a clinical NTN or DRN in the same specialty as their ACF application will not need to attend a clinical interview as they will already have met the required standard previously.
