Neurology ST4 Application Process 2026

The Neurology ST4 application process is designed to ensure you meet the essential criteria required to progress to the next stage of recruitment. This involves demonstrating key competencies, qualifications, and experience in your application form.

To be eligible for the interview, you must hold an MRCP qualification or equivalent. While MRCP Part 1 must be successfully completed at the time of application, MRCP Part 2 must be passed by the offer date. 

The Neurology ST4 person specification provides a detailed breakdown of all essential requirements, so it’s vital to review this document thoroughly before submitting your application.

Ensure your application is accurate and highlights your suitability for the specialty to maximise your chance of being invited to interview.

Neurology ST4 Self-Assessment 

As part of the Neurology ST4 application process, you’re required to complete self-assessment questions that showcase your experiences and qualifications. These questions are designed to evaluate you across a series of key domains.

A total of 38 points can be awarded for these domains, with an additional 2 marks available if your evidence is well-organised and submitted to a satisfactory standard. Attention to detail and thorough preparation are essential to maximise your score in this part of the process.

You can find the breakdown of the self-assessment domains and their corresponding marks below:

Boost your Neurology ST4 Self-Assessment Score by Training in Teaching

Completing a teaching qualification such as a PG Cert or PG Diploma can earn you up to 3 points on your Neurology ST4 application, but these courses often require significant time and may not be feasible before your interview. 

A faster alternative is our Live Teach the Teacher Course, which provides at least six hours of interactive, real-time teaching and gives 1 point toward your application. You can choose between a 1-day and a 2-day live course format to fit your schedule.
