The Oriel system is the UK wide portal for recruitment to postgraduate medical, dental, pharmacy, public health, and healthcare science training programmes:..[1][2][3][4][5] It enables applicants to register for training, view vacancies, apply, book interviews and assessment centres, and manage offers - all within a single central location. The system was launched in 2015 and replaced the previous application systems for specialty training.
History edit
The Oriel system was developed as part of the Health Education England (HEE) e-Recruitment Programme, in collaboration with NHS Education for Scotland (NES), Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW), Northern Ireland Medical and Dental Training Agency (NIMDTA), General Medical Council (GMC), General Dental Council (GDC), General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC), UK Foundation Programme Office (UKFPO), and other stakeholders.[6] Oriel was built on the myriad existing IT systems used for medical and dental specialty recruitment, aiming to improve the recruitment process for applicants and employers. It was launched in September 2014 after a successful pilot involving over 3000 trainees in February 2014[6]. The system was named after the Latin word "oriel", meaning "window", to reflect the transparency and accessibility of the system[7]. The system was piloted in 2014 for a number of specialties, such as general practice, internal medicine training[2], and public health. The system was rolled out nationally in 2015 for all specialties, except for foundation training.[8]
The Oriel 2 project was delivered in distinct phases. Phase 1 of Oriel 2 was launched in June 2020, and Phase 2 was scheduled to launch on October 28, 2020.[9] While Phase 1 focused primarily on improving existing functionality, Phase 2 introduced brand new functionality. This included efforts are to enhance the aesthetics and functionality of the system, with a focus on streamlining the displayed information to optimize the user journey. The system is being designed to be accessible across a variety of devices, ensuring that trainees can interact with it conveniently. The structure of the application form is being updated to simplify the application process for trainees. This includes features such as the ability to upload documents directly to the application form and the option to duplicate sections from previous application forms that are identical. The preferencing process is also being improved, with new features including a filtering option for preferences. A newly introduced preferences tab on the dashboard will provide users with quick and easy access to preference data for all applications. To assist trainees in tracking their applications more efficiently, visual progress trackers have been implemented. These enhancements aim to create a more user-friendly and efficient system for trainees[9]. In October 2023, NHS England sought to further assess Oriel user experience to inform future upgrades and service improvements by using exploratory questionnaires[10]
Features edit
The Oriel system has several features that are designed to make the recruitment process more efficient and user-friendly. Some of these features are[11][7]
- A single account for applicants to access all stages of the recruitment process
- A dashboard that shows the status of applications, interviews, offers, and preferences
- A preference ranking system that allows applicants to rank their preferred posts and employers
- A self-service functionality that allows applicants to update their personal details, contact information, and referees
- A feedback mechanism that allows applicants to provide feedback on their experience of using the system
- A helpdesk that provides technical support and guidance for applicants and employers
Controversies edit
The Oriel system itself underwent an update with a new version (Oriel 2) introduced alongside the original system.[9]. This change led to some confusion as trainee profiles and data did not transfer from the original Oriel system to Oriel 2. Users had to re-register their details and past application details were not available on Oriel 2[9]
The system has highlighted increasing competition ratios and difficulties in attaining a training post since all applications, longlisting, shortlisting and interviews for these posts must be made through Oriel.[12][13] The system itself is controversial as one study showed there was no correlation between attainment at university and Oriel ranking that is used to allocate training posts.[14]
It has also been used to streamline and improve research into the nature of UK postgraduate healthcare training programmes.[15][16] However, metrics generated by Oriel such as fill rates or preferencing regions have been found to lack granularity to sub-regions of the UK limiting use of current data in analysis.[17]
