AdvikJob applicant guidance
Because this is a specialist medical recruitment, professional registration is as important as the degree. Before applying, check that the registration is valid and the qualification is recognised for the specific system of medicine. If applying for both disciplines is permitted, confirm whether separate forms and separate fees are required.
