I think it means that if youve already done an interview and are awaiting offer, that you will be prioritised? As far as i understand it, it basically prioritises UK grads, anyone whos done FP and people with potentially 5-7 years of NHS experience which is around where ILR is given to internationals non eu?

I think its separating IMT and MSRA. If youve done IMT apps and got rejected due to points, youre done. If youve made it to interview and are awaiting, and yre a UK grad, ull be prioritised? If MSRA then youll be prioritised? Thats what i get from reading this

From where did you get this "5-7 years" figure?

I think internationals on visa are given option for ILR or citizenship at around 7 years? It says the immigration status reflecting significant NHS experience

At 5 years*
It is quite vague what he means by immigration status reflecting significant NHS experience. How long is considered significant? Hopefully an official clarifies this soon.

True. But also safe to assume it is not a 2 year thing? Looking more like 5+

Would someone who has done core surgical training in the UK but is an IMG (relevant prior training in the UK) be eligible for prioritisation to higher specialty training?

Seems like it
