The posts displayed are the current confirmed posts for the 2026 intake as provided by NHS England commissioners. To meet ongoing NHS demands and patient needs, the commissioners are still considering late requests for posts from training organisations.

We anticipate numbers may increase and regions listed with ‘TBC’ currently have 0 posts but may still offer a post, however this is not guaranteed. All posts numbers are subject to change. 

As such, the post numbers listed may only be used as a guide at this time. Our advice is to submit an application and should a desired post not become available then the application can be withdrawn. The NSHCS recruitment team is unable to advise on any details beyond what is listed on this page. The established posts will be updated here on a regular basis, so please make sure to check back frequently.

All posts will be listed, detailed by specific Trusts and organisation, well in advance of when applicants need to make locational choices (sub-preferences). The timeline for this will be made available on the website and communicated to applicants who reach this stage of the recruitment process.
