Recruitment and careers

We manage the recruitment and selection processes to posts within NES and training schemes in:
- general practice
- dentistry
- psychology
- management training
- nursing and midwifery
- Pharmacy recruitment - Foundation training
- healthcare science
Recruitment to training schemes takes place annually.
