Registration and Oriel

The Oriel application system is compatible with Safari v12+, Google Chrome v77+, Edge and Firefox v68+. Use one of these browsers when using Oriel, preferably the latest version. Only log in on one browser at a time (do not open Oriel in multiple tabs). Avoid using a mobile device.

You must register for an account on Oriel before you can begin your Eligibility application.

If you already have an Oriel account, you can log in, search for the Eligibility vacancy and apply.

To set up a new account and register:

1) Go to www.oriel.nhs.uk.

2) On the ‘Welcome to Oriel’ page click ‘register’ on the top right of the screen

3) From the ‘Account registration’ select ‘Register to apply for the eligibility application process’ then press ‘Continue’

4) Enter your personal details, and set your password. Once you have entered your details, click “Submit” at the bottom of the page.

The email and password you choose will be used every time you log in. You can change them after logging in. Keep your password safe.

Once registered, you can complete the Eligibility application form. To find the Eligibility vacancy and application form:

1) Select ‘Vacancies’ from the toolbar on the left or the quick access shortcuts on the top of the screen.

2) Select the Eligibility vacancy for the 2027 Foundation Programme.

3) The Eligibility vacancy will appear in the results box – select the ‘Apply’ box to the right of the relevant vacancy.

You should only log into Oriel via one browser at a time. This includes not keeping Oriel actively logged in at the same time on multiple devices.

Avoid using a mobile device to complete your application. Functionality has not been built into the system to support mobile browsers.

If you think there’s a technical error, try a different browser, for example, Google Chrome. Or try deleting your cache and/or browser history. If the issue continues, contact the technical helpdesk: oriel@hicom.co.uk.

Email the UKFPO Helpdesk at: england.helpdesk.foundationprogramme@nhs.net. You must provide your Oriel PIN and full name to enable us to unlock your account.
