How to Tailor NHS Job Application for IMG Doctors I Personal Statement & Supporting Information

In this video, I have explained how to improve your personal statement and supporting information on the NHS job application forms.
I have taken a job advert as an example and written a mock statement in this video which may help you understand how to improve your own form.
This is an example of tailoring your form according to the requirements of the jobs advertised as a junior doctor.
I am a Consultant working in the NHS and have over 18 years of NHS exposure and this is based on my experience of how a doctor can improve their form to get better chances of shortlisting.

    Thank you for your valiable video. However, in the highlight for personal statment section; it is clearly noted not to replicate any information already provided in the previous sections. In your example, you replicate data such as graduation date. Is this accepted? Finally, I found your example very useful for me.

    Thank you so much for this amazing video. I have recently gotten my GMC registration and I’m yet to apply for jobs, I’ve done an attachment in the UK but what’s making me anxious is that I don’t have any research or audits under my name, nor any post grad degrees; kinda feeling lost and low. Could you please make a video for people like me who don’t have much to brag about in their CV?I feel like there’s no point of passing PLAB 2 unless I had an MSc / MRCP pt 1. I’m feeling really demoralised.

    I have one question. What if an IMG has not been able to find a training or non training job that is in a tertiary care hospital like many of our countries have job saturation, physical and economic impossibility to move into another city because job doesn't pay enough or job offer is unpaid. And the person is then working as a general practitioner or in a primary care set up, immediately after housejob, can we still use that to our advantage that we have been practicing medicine and this has helped out skills of communication as well as diagnosis and management?

    Thanks a lot Doc. This is indeed useful. Doc, I need a clarification on this; if there are specific spaces for teaching experience, research and audit, leadership and management experience, team work, do we need to write about all the aforementioned again in the big space (1,500 words limit) provided or we just go ahead to write about others with no specific space?. Thanks, Doc

Also should we not put headings as otherwise it would just apper as a long paragraph without distinctions? Thanks again

    @⁨Dr Raja I have a query. If GMC registration was done 4 years ago and license to practice was issued but given up that due to not in UK as working outside UK. Now due to personal priorities looking for a job in UK. Do you advice to restore it after getting job offer or restore now while applying as if it takes time to get an offer then revalidation problem may not be there

    Thank you for this video Dr. Adnan. I had a question- that is that most of the essential criteria in the person specification has already been spoken of in the appliction. For example there is an entire section on teaching, leadership, research, awards and distinctions. In that case are we supposed to mention it again in the supporting information as it usually says to not repeat information?

    Your questions are outside of what I am describing in this video. This is specifically for the NHS jobs application form. There is no need for a CV when you are applying via the website. The cover letter is when you send the CV
