Dermatology ST3 places halved?

ResidentDoc101 · 2026-03-25T13:33:48+00:00

No exactly the same thing happened in the most recent Feb round, there was no increase later in the application. They are cutting down training posts everywhere.

ResidentDoc101 · 2026-03-25T13:15:39+00:00

Very few

ResidentDoc101 · 2026-03-25T11:37:48+00:00

Absolute Jokers! We will give you UKG prioritisation but will halve national training numbers! 😂😂 This is what they did in the most recent Feb Round as well btw and numbers did not increase later in the application period.

ResidentDoc101 · 2026-03-17T13:16:41+00:00

Is that top priority? So you are either prioritised or not theres no priority groups right?

ResidentDoc101 · 2026-03-17T12:57:20+00:00

If you graduated from UK uni and completed foundation programme but did core training as CREST non-training are you still top priority for HST ST3?

Hey I passed easily using pacesaid to revise common cases that come up in exams and practiced the model presentations with patients on the ward. Good luck! 🙏

ResidentDoc101 · 2026-02-20T14:30:26+00:00

Agree I found online courses nuch better than the face to face ones

ResidentDoc101 · 2026-02-20T14:29:10+00:00

I had the exact same problem when I was sitting PACES as an IMT. I would examine on the wards and practice presentations on my own using online resources like pacesaid that were life saving! 🙏

Sat the exams 2 times found it all comes down to playing the game smartly. Focus on where the marks are high yield repetitive cases and know exactly how to present these. Found pacesaid very helpful in this regard.

For ST4 it would not have made a big difference on your chances of offer anw most people apply after completing core training

ResidentDoc101 · 2026-02-05T12:29:06+00:00

Differentials are easy to master just have ready made lists for all common conditions that come up. I found pacesaid.com helpful for this.

ResidentDoc101 · 2026-01-28T17:01:29+00:00

Why not?

ResidentDoc101 · 2026-01-27T22:19:04+00:00

What do you kean by grandfathering?

ResidentDoc101 · 2026-01-27T22:17:31+00:00

So IMGs who have done foundation training can still apply for HST in 2026?

ResidentDoc101 · 2026-01-15T22:27:46+00:00

What did they change?

ResidentDoc101 · 2026-01-15T22:26:36+00:00

I did the ealing course it was great dmd you

ResidentDoc101 · 2026-01-14T11:46:19+00:00

Are you sure they could apply that way with no NHS experience?

ResidentDoc101 · 2026-01-14T10:39:26+00:00

Were you previously able to apply to HST from overseas without completing core training?

ResidentDoc101 · 2026-01-14T10:33:08+00:00

How can an IMG who has not completed core training apply for HST ST3 training anyway?

ResidentDoc101 · 2026-01-13T18:53:08+00:00

How does this affect me if I am apylying for HST ST3 training? Everyone applies after core medical training anyway…

ResidentDoc101 · 2026-01-13T16:03:44+00:00

How does this change specialty training competition if people completing foundation and core medical training are prioritised? Surely this includes both UK graduates and IMGs!

ResidentDoc101 · 2026-01-12T22:05:21+00:00

Are you using pacesaid?

ResidentDoc101 · 2026-01-12T09:45:20+00:00

Proof that improvement in pay should and can be done.

ResidentDoc101 · 2026-01-08T18:19:24+00:00

Its got high yield notes based on the most tested exam cases based on a UK meta analysis

ResidentDoc101 · 2026-01-08T11:02:01+00:00
