Health: Doctors

Question
asked Her Majesty's Government:How the Medical Training Application Service is providing for those doctors who, despite having been assured prior to application that such clashes would not occur, fail to obtain a post because the interview dates clashed in the specialty applied for.
Answer

The small number of applicants who were short-listed for specialties with interview slots taking place at the same time were advised to contact deaneries directly to rearrange interviews accordingly. The London postgraduate deanery provided a central service for all applicants who needed to rearrange interviews.
