Summer Vibes, Winter Pressures: ICU JMO Recruitment Secrets

In this episode of The NICE Podcast, Ben (who seems to be convinced it’s summer), Kate, and special guest Jeram Hyde dive into the ins and outs of junior medical recruitment for intensive care in 2026. Jeram shares his insider knowledge on crafting a standout application and nailing the interview, while Kate explores why humility might just be the most vital trait for a future intensivist. Packed with practical advice, personal insights, and a touch of seasonal confusion, this is essential listening for anyone eyeing an ICU career.

Jeram Hyde is an Intensive Care specialist and supervisor of training based in Newcastle. He has a masters degree in HR Management and Business Administration, as well as an Associate Fellowship in Medical Administration. Outside of work he enjoys time with his family watching the F1, rock climbing and is a keen paraglider.
