HCP-Med admissions statistics

Admissions statistics for the past 3 years

Each October, at the end of the admissions cycle, we publish HCP-Med admissions statistics for the last three years.  

This includes information on applications, offers and those placed from each particular cycle year plus additional information on UCAT scores for HCP-Med applicants.  

The first academic entry for HCP-Med was in 2020. Successful HCP-Med applicants come from a range of professions such as, but not limited to, Advanced Nurse Practitioners, Audiologists, Dentists, Dieticians, Nurses, Occupational Therapists, Optometrists, Orthoptists, Paramedics, Pharmacists, Physician Associates, Physiotherapists, Podiatrists, Biomedical Scientists, Clinical Physiologists, Orthotists, and Radiographers.  

Applications can vary both in number and quality between cycles, therefore we would caution against using these statistics as solid predictors for future applications. We review our selection process annually and the way we select is subject to change. As HCP-Med is a controlled subject, the number of places we have available each year is determined by the Scottish Funding Council in liaison with NHS Scotland annually and is also subject to change. For academic entry 2020 and 2021, the number of funded places was 25, whereas for 2022 academic entry the number of places increased to 30. For 2023 and 2024 academic entry, the number of places increased to 35.
