SHO is an old school term which is roughly equivalent to the period between FY2-ST2. Since SHOs no longer exist (in the historical sense of the term) the people who are now what would have been SHOs are either undergoing speciality or core training (so yes, specialising).

Though there are non-training "Trust SHO" jobs still floating around, just to confuse the picture a bit more... :colone:
