Nursing Applications

Some information from CATCH.  The Guide, the Application Form and Notes on Completing the Application Form can now be downloaded from their website www.nes.scot.nhs.uk/nursing/catch .   Applicants will need to be able to refer to both the Guide and the Notes throughout the application process, including when they are called for an interview.  If we or clients download the Application Form it is essential that the Guide and Notes are downloaded as well. 

CATCH will continue to send out the full application pack to anyone who can’t or prefers not to download it.  Contact CATCH at PO Box 21, Edinburgh EH2 2YS. 

There is no closing date for applications but since there are generally more applicants than places available (particularly in Midwifery and Child Health) CATCH advises that applicants submit their forms as early as possible.
