ARCP Submission Dates

The submission dates for all ARCP evidence for 2026 are published below.
All ARCPs will be held in absence. In the event of an unsatisfactory outcome, a virtual meeting will be arranged within the next 10 day period with the Head of School and Training Programme Director. You will be notified of the date and time of any meeting via HEIW.

All LLP evidence, including the ESSR, must be present to view by the advertised submission date - please co-ordinate the date for ESSR completion with your ES and CT as early as possible.
The Welsh School of Anaesthesia evidence submission deadline is :
- Anaesthesia : one week before the ARCP review date (please work to this one week deadline, rather than the HEIW 2 week deadline).
- FICM residents including dual anaesthesia/FICM : two weeks before the ARCP review date.

Submission dates for 2026 ARCPs are:

In the event of an unsatisfactory ARCP outcome, resident meetings with the Head of School and TPD will be confirmed.
