NHS Employers have welcomed a plan designed to resolve the Medical Training Application Service (MTAS) crisis.
The MTAS online system, which selects junior doctors for specialist posts have been widely criticised because it has failed to select the best candidates for a number of roles.
Although it was designed to speed up the process, the online forms actually created confusion and did not provide applicants with the opportunity to highlight their particular area of expertise and attach a CV.
However a review group recently met and came to the conclusion that the system should be changed and doctors in England should all be guaranteed an interview for their first-choice job.
Speaking to Personnel Today, the deputy director of NHS Employers Sian Thomas, said: "We have now strengthened the process to everyone's benefit. It's been a huge change to the way we are recruiting doctors, but moving to an online system is always difficult.
"There is no fear that there will be a repeat of what has happened going forward," added Ms Thomas.
She also added that NHS Employers would happily assist in any inquiry that may be carried out in the wake of the crisis.
Health secretary Patricia Hewitt recently apologised for the debacle.
