Answers to some commonly asked questions from ETP trainers and employers.

Once my trainee is selected, how and when do I let the School know?

Once the applicant is confirmed, please email the School at england.hcsrecruitment@nhs.net as soon as possible with the confirmed applicants details.

As a minimum we would need the ETP scoresheet fully completed and qualifications. Please include copies of degree certificates and UK ENIC Statement if applicable.

I have an applicant with a 2:2 honours degree in a suitable scientific discipline who has worked in my Cardiac department for 5 years, can they apply to the programme?

Acceptance onto the programme with a 2:2 honours degree may be possible with adequate experience. You will need to contact the university to confirm entry requirements.

Do I need to advertise an ETP in-service post on NHS Jobs?

The in-service route is only open to existing NHS staff working in a cardiac department, who meet the qualification requirements and have been nominated by their employer. The employer will need to follow the Trust recruitment and selection policies.

I would like to attend a Train the Trainer event but there are no available dates on the website. Will you be providing more?

Dates of confirmed ETP Train the Trainer events are published on our website. You can also watch the latest ETP Train the Trainer webinar and complete a short evaluation to gain a certificate of attendance. Visit the Train the Trainer section for further details.
