How many MRCP(UK) applications have been withdrawn by the NHS recruitment team for reasons around administrative errors or incorrectly filled out forms?

How many of these applications have been withdrawn by the recruitment team with no correspondence with the applicant prior to the application withdrawal?

Is there an automatic withdrawal system if there are any administrative errors in an application form?

The NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) received your request on 20 February 2025.

Our response

I am writing to advise you that following a search of our paper and electronic records, I have established that the information you requested is not held by the NHSBSA. We are unable to find any organisation account for Membership of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the UK – MRCP(UK) and do not believe they recruit with NHS Jobs.
