These may arise from original research, clinical audit, and teaching experience, and can include papers,
conference abstracts, case reports, letters, review articles, book chapters, articles in e-Journals or

in reverse chronological order;

You can sub-divide this section into published work and pending publications.
10) Research experience
The importance you place on this relating to your career progression will depend on your chosen
specialty.
Present your experience as the topic of research, dates, location, supervisor and source/amount of
funding, your role and final outcome (e.g. if completed, when and where presented or published);
If you have not completed any research projects, mention any courses in research methodology, critical
appraisal skills, and attendance at journal clubs.
11) Management and leadership experience
List the most recent and relevant experiences. These could include committee responsibilities,
guidelines or protocol development, organising events, trainee representation, committee
involvement, rota management and supervision of junior colleagues.
Use action verbs to convey your active involvement (e.g. “Took initiative to review and update <…>
departmental protocol” instead of “Was involved in updating departmental protocols”)
12) Clinical audit / Quality improvement project
Present your experience as month and year completed, the topic, institution, gold standard for
evaluation of current practice, key results (including any changes in practice) and whether the audit
cycle was closed, as well as when/where it was presented.
Include key audits (relevant to the role or where you had a significant contribution). Describe your role
either in design, implementation and leading the audit.
If you re-audited, state whether this showed sustained improvement.
