How to Customise This Template
- 1

- 2
Organise clinical experience by speciality and setting (e.g., 'Acute Medicine — University Hospital Birmingham, August 2021 – present').
- 3
Include an audit and research section if you have participated in clinical audits, quality improvement projects, or published research.
- 4
Add your CPD log summary showing total hours and key courses completed in the past 12 months.
Industry-Specific Advice
Healthcare recruitment places heavy emphasis on verifiable credentials and clinical competencies. NHS applications often use standardised forms, but a well-structured CV is essential for shortlisting. For nursing roles, emphasise patient ratios, speciality areas, and any advanced practice qualifications. For medical roles, detail your training rotations, examinations passed (MRCP, MRCS, etc.), and procedural competencies with numbers where possible. Allied health professionals should highlight their scope of practice, MDT collaboration experience, and outcome measures.
Formatting & Presentation Guide
Use a chronological format with most recent positions first. Two pages is ideal for clinicians with under 10 years of experience; three pages is acceptable for senior consultants. Include exact dates (month and year) for each position — gaps in medical CVs raise concerns. Use standard headings: Personal Details, Professional Registration, Qualifications, Clinical Experience, Audit & Research, Teaching, CPD.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I include my GMC/NMC number on the CV?
Yes. Professional registration numbers should be clearly visible, typically in the header or personal details section. Recruiters and medical staffing teams verify these as a first step.
How do I handle career breaks in a medical CV?
Be transparent about career breaks. Note the dates and briefly explain (e.g., 'Career break — parental leave, maintained CPD through online courses'). Unexplained gaps in medical CVs can raise compliance concerns.
Is this template suitable for international medical graduates?
Yes. Include your overseas qualifications, any equivalency examinations (PLAB, USMLE), and your registration status. Highlight any supervised practice or adaptation programmes completed.
