Economic and operational impact
For candidates, the operational impact is immediate and with irreversible consequences if action is not taken in time:
- Non-extendable remedy period: the 10 business days from September 4, 2026 are the only margin to correct defects in the application. After that period, exclusion is definitive and there is no ordinary remedy that allows reincorporation into the process.
- Three remediable exclusion causes: lack of accredited qualification, lack of income accreditation, and lack of job seeker status. Any of them can be corrected by providing the required documentation within the deadline.
- Logistical preparation for December: the exam is held in Madrid (Paseo del Prado, 18-20), which means planning travel and accommodation for candidates from other provinces with sufficient notice.
- Definitive lists and tribunal: will be published on the Ministry of Health website and on administracion.gob.es, not in the BOE. It is essential to consult those sources to know the tribunal composition and the definitive confirmation of admission.
Who does it affect?
- Candidates who applied for positions in the M3 professional group (Psychology) at the Ministry of Health in the July 2026 call.
- Candidates who applied for positions in the M1 professional group (General Maintenance) at the Ministry of Health in the same call.
- Applicants who access through the system of free access or through internal promotion.
- Candidates who appear on the provisional lists as excluded and need to remedy their application.
- Admitted candidates who must organize their attendance at the first exercise on December 14, 2026 in Madrid.
Practical example
A candidate for the M3 group (Psychology) who submitted their application in July 2026 checks the provisional lists published on September 4 and finds that they are listed as excluded due to lack of qualification accreditation.
They have until approximately September 18, 2026 (10 business days from 4/09/2026, not counting weekends or holidays) to submit the documentation that accredits their Psychology qualification. If they do so within the deadline and correctly, they will move to the definitive lists as admitted and will be able to take the first exercise on December 14, 2026 at 15:30h at the Ministry of Health (Paseo del Prado, 18-20, Madrid), with a blue or black pen and their valid ID, and without any electronic device.
If they do not remedy within that deadline, they are permanently excluded from the selection process and cannot participate in any subsequent phase of this call.
What should candidates do now?
- Check the provisional lists immediately: access the Ministry of Health website and administracion.gob.es to verify if you are listed as admitted or excluded.
- If you are excluded, identify the reason: the three remediable reasons are lack of qualification, lack of income accreditation, and lack of job seeker status. Locate what documentation you are missing.
- Submit the remedy within 10 business days from 4/09/2026: do not wait until the last day. Definitive exclusion cannot be reversed.
- If you are admitted, plan your travel to Madrid: the exam is on December 14, 2026 at 15:30h at Paseo del Prado, 18-20. If you live outside Madrid, book accommodation and transportation in advance.
- Prepare mandatory material: blue or black pen and valid ID. Remember that electronic devices are prohibited in the exam.
- Follow official websites for definitive lists and tribunal composition: they will be published on the Ministry of Health website and on administracion.gob.es, not in the BOE.
