Most doctors become GPs. At what point in their training or junior experience do specialists decide to specialise? Is it dependent on their record, or on going for some area in which they perceive a vacancy, or on simple personal preference, or some other factor or factors ?

So basically it is during their second year after qualification

the draw back being under these new reforms that they may not know,
that early which branch they wanna go down

in which case they have to start again.

For surgery for example they have do decide whether their specialty of choice is ENT, general surgery, paed surgery. ophthalmology, neuro

so important decisions are being made much earlier than they were in sqad's day and the training is much shorter.
