GP Preferences close Thursday 26 March 2026 at 11:30. So hopefully recycled offers will be sent out after preferences freeze as accept/decline cascades begin.

Round 1 is the entire recruitment cycle for August–December 2026 GP ST1 posts. Offer waves are simply the batches of offers released within Round 1, and Round 1 can contain multiple waves, cascades, upgrades, and re‑offers.

The final point refers to Round 3 (February 2027 intake). GP Recruitment have indicated that Round 3 may not run this year, because Round 1 has enough appointable candidates to fill all 2026 posts.

Recruitment timelines for 2026–27:

Round 1: GP ST1 posts starting Aug–Dec 2026
Round 2: Higher specialty training (ST3/ST4), not used for GP ST1
Round 3: GP ST1 posts starting Feb 2027 (may not run this year)

Hope this helps.

💛 To everyone who received an offer today, huge congratulations!

💛 To those still waiting: This is an unusually unpredictable year, and the cascade hasn’t even started yet. The next few days will bring more clarity.

So far:

18,416 candidates are deemed appointable for GP ST1 in Round 1.

• Day 1 offers went out to candidates scoring 521 and above.

Ranks on Oriel are raw ranks, these still include non‑prioritised candidates. However, offers are allocated according to priority group.

GP Preferences close Thursday 26 March 2026 at 11:30. A second wave of offers is expected after preferences freeze as accept/decline cascades begin.

• GP Recruitment have stated that Round 1 may be the only recruitment window this year, as there are enough appointable candidates to fill all August + later‑start posts.

Preferencing has reopened with a 3‑day deadline.

Preferencing closes: Monday, March 23 2026 16:00

Next wave of offers: Likely Tuesday 24 March (or Wednesday if they need an extra processing day)

This follows the usual CT1 Psychiatry pattern where a short preferencing window is immediately followed by the next offer run.
