Abstract
Ophthalmic specialist training (OST) is one of the most competitive training programmes in the United Kingdom with only 89 places for over 600 applicants in 2021 (1). The cancellation of face-to-face interviews in response to the Covid-19 pandemic is one of several changes effected by the Royal College of Ophthalmologists and the Severn Deanery which is the lead recruiter for the speciality. Many budding ophthalmologists have struggled to adapt to the changes directly and indirectly imposed by the pandemic and were not successful in securing a training post during this time. The following article aims to outline changes to the OST application experience during the Covid-19 era and offers advice to those hoping to apply in coming cycles.
