NHS Supporting Statement Review and Writing Service for Doctors

The supporting statement (also called supporting information) is where most NHS doctor applications are won or lost. Shortlisters score it line by line against the person specification. If the evidence for a criterion isn't there, or is hard to find, the mark is lost, even when the doctor has the experience.

Our NHS supporting statement review and writing service is built around that scoring. We check your draft against the person specification, show you which criteria aren't yet evidenced, and write two supporting statements for NHS posts you choose. It's part of our £35 package, which also includes a full CV review and rewrite.

Quick answer: CareerPro UK reviews and writes NHS supporting statements for doctors and IMGs. For £35 you get two supporting statements written for posts you choose, a CV review and rewrite, and guidance on adapting your statement to future person specifications. Everything is done by email, for Trac, NHS Jobs and NHS Scotland applications.

What you get for £35

  • Two supporting statements for NHS posts you choose, each written against that post's person specification.

  • A gap check: a clear list of the criteria your current application doesn't yet show.

  • A full CV review and rewrite in NHS format, so your CV and statement tell the same story.

  • Guidance for future applications on adapting the statement to each new job, so you can apply widely without starting again.

How we write a supporting statement

We don't use a template and change the job title. Each statement is built from the person specification and your own experience:

  • Person specification mapping: every essential and desirable criterion is matched to evidence from your experience, in the order the shortlister reads them.

  • Specific examples: real cases, numbers and outcomes instead of adjectives, structured so the result and the learning are clear.

  • The easy marks: GMC status, ALS, on-call, audit, teaching, CPD and computer skills are stated plainly, because they're often missed.

  • The Trust and the post: we reference the department, the rotation and the Trust's values from the job description.

  • Your voice: written in plain, first-person NHS English, so it reads like you and not like a generic or AI-written statement.

  • Honesty: nothing is added that you haven't done. You check every word before you submit.

Want to see the approach in detail? Our worked examples show it paragraph by paragraph for JCF in Medicine, JCF in Surgery, JCF in Emergency Medicine and specialty doctor posts.

Who this service is for

  • IMG doctors applying for their first NHS post

  • Doctors applying for junior clinical fellow, clinical fellow, trust grade or specialty doctor jobs

  • Doctors who have applied several times without being shortlisted

  • Doctors who have written a statement but aren't sure it meets the person specification

How it works

  1. Email the job advert, the person specification and your CV or draft statement to cvreviewexperts@gmail.com.

  2. We tell you which criteria your application doesn't yet evidence.

  3. We write two supporting statements for the posts you choose, review and rewrite your CV, and email everything back with guidance for future applications.

  4. You check every word is true for you, then submit.

What we don't do

  • We don't invent experience, exams or courses. Shortlisters, referees and interview panels will check.

  • We can't guarantee shortlisting. Employers make that decision. We make sure your real experience is presented clearly against what they're scoring.

  • We're independent and not part of the NHS or the GMC.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an NHS supporting statement cost?

Two supporting statements are included in our £35 package, together with a full CV review and rewrite and guidance for future applications.

Do you write supporting statements for Trac and NHS Jobs?

Yes. We write for doctor posts on Trac, NHS Jobs and NHS Scotland.

Can you just review my draft statement?

Yes. Send your draft with the person specification. We'll show you which criteria are missing and rewrite it as one of your two statements.

Will the statement sound AI-written?

No. We write from your own experience in plain, first-person language, and you check and personalise it before submitting. Some Trusts now warn applicants about generic AI-written statements, so this matters.

Can I reuse the statement for other jobs?

Partly. Each person specification is different, so you'll need to adapt it. The guidance we send shows you how to do that quickly.

Can you guarantee an interview?

No. Shortlisting decisions are made by employers. We help you present your experience clearly against the person specification.
