On the whole round 2 runs very similarly to round 1. The main difference is that in round 2 not all specialties participate; participating specialties will be confirmed in the run-up to the application opening date for the round.
Regions will make available any HST programmes which were either not filled in round 1 or have subsequently become available.
An addendum to the applicants' guide has been published to the document library of the website. This details anything which is different about round 2 to round 1 and also confirms the specialties participating and interview dates; these are also available on the relevant page for each specialty . The FAQs area contains a section on round 2 with further guidance on common questions.
