This is available through the <a href="https://specialtytraining.hee.nhs.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HEE Specialty Training Website</a></li> <li>Check the ST4 Person-Specification paperwork available. This is available through the <a href="https://specialtytraining.hee.nhs.uk/recruitment/person-specifications" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RCP Application Website</a>.</li> <li>Measure yourself and your CV against the ‘Essential’ and ‘Desirable’ criteria.</li> <li>Market yourself and your interest in the speciality.</li> </ul> <p>It is harder, nowadays, to gain a standalone training post in a hospice, which would give you the ideal experience of what a career in palliative Medicine involves and whether you really can commit yourself to it. Nevertheless, look for other opportunities where you can link up with specialists in palliative Medicine. For example, as a post-foundation doctor, try to organise a ‘taster session’ during your training with a local hospice. Why not enter prizes organised by the Association of Palliative Medicine? There are essay prizes for undergraduates or audit prizes for junior doctors.</p> <p><strong>Note the application deadlines, and do not give up!</strong></p> <p>If you are unsuccessful after both rounds of recruitment, seek advice from your deanery’s training programme director for palliative Medicine. If your heart is set on the speciality, consider a non-training grade hospice post, which would give you valuable clinical experience in the speciality as well as demonstrate your commitment.</p> <h3>How do I apply?</h3> <p>Applications (Round One) usually open in November for a start date between August to December. More information regarding this is available on the <a href="https://phstrecruitment.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PHS Recruitment website</a>.</p> <p>The application form can take many hours to complete, so don’t leave it until the last minute!</p> <p>Once the application form has been reviewed, candidates will be short-listed for an interview based on scoring the application form. The interview has four interview question sections lasting 5-8 minutes each.</p> <p>You will be marked in each of these four question areas, with a fifth mark being given for your communication and reflection skills in the ethical scenario. The entire interview will last around 30 minutes.</p> <p><strong>The four questions are:</strong></p> <p><strong>Question 1:</strong> Suitability and Commitment: This will give you an opportunity to expand on your application form. This station will last approximately 5 minutes.</p> <p><strong>Question 2:</strong> Medical Registrar Suitability: This will explore the non-clinical parts of being a medical registrar, including managing an unselected take and managing an MDT. This will last approximately 5 minutes.</p> <p><strong>Question 3:</strong> Professionalism and Governance: This will be a discussion on professionalism and governance. The interviews will give you a single sentence or short question to prompt discussion. This assessment will be underpinned by GMC Good Medical Practice.</p> <p><strong>Question 4:</strong> Ethical / Communication Scenario: You will be scored on your skills in handling an ethical scenario and will receive another mark for your communication and reflection skills. The ethical scenario will be a hypothetical situation given to you in a written format. You will be given 5 minutes to prepare and then will have 8 minutes to perform a role-play.

There are opportunities for complex problem-solving, challenging communication and fascinating ethical dilemmas. Good palliative care requires multi-professional teams and interactions with various hospital and community colleagues. Palliative Medicine specialist training happens in hospitals, hospices and the community.</p> <p>Training full-time in a numbered post takes four years to gain a certificate of completion (CCT) in Palliative Medicine. Since 2022 Palliative Medicine has been dual accredited with General Internal Medicine, meaning that one year out of the four years of specialist training will be spent in acute Medicine.</p> <p>The RCP census shows that Palliative Medicine is the 11th largest medical speciality, with around 700 consultants in the UK. Trainee numbers in Palliative Medicine are increasing. Approximately 48% of consultants work less than full-time, and a similar number of trainees choose to train flexibly.</p> </div> </div> <div class="vc_empty_space" style="height: 32px"><span class="vc_empty_space_inner"></span></div></div></div></div></div><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6 liquid-column-67f5e5e3496c9"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper " ><div class="wpb_wrapper-inner"> <div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element " > <div class="wpb_wrapper"> <p>About a third of consultant jobs are joint NHS/third sector, reflecting the fact that there are options to work across settings and organisations. Speciality trainees rate their training highly in the GMC trainees’ annual survey.</p> <p>The transformation of the NHS following the COVID-19 pandemic will require increased speciality training numbers. Increased numbers of medical student placements have already been announced.
