Welcome to the Student Zone!

The PGMDE Support Portal is used for applicants to find information relating to recruitment activity.
Please access the portal below, use the search function for FAQs or submit an applicant enquiry form if you cannot find the answers you are looking for.
In collaboration with NHS England, HEIW (Wales) and NES (Scotland), the RPS has published answers to commonly asked questions regarding the National Recruitment Scheme.

The first cascade of offers will be made on 5 November 2025, the final offer upgrade deadline is 26 November 2025 12:00pm - UK local time. You will be notified of offers via an email which will ask you to login to your Oriel account.

Important: during the offers window we strongly recommend that you monitor your Oriel and email accounts especially closely to ensure you do not miss notifications of offers.

IMPORTANT: You will be given 48 hours (excluding weekends and bank holidays) to accept or decline an offer.
If you decline an offer you will be removed from the process
If you let an offer expire you will be removed from the process
Once removed from the process you will not be eligible to receive any subsequent offers
