The post is for a clinical fellowship and will involve a majority of clinical sessions (~50%) in the chosen subspecialty.

The preferred candidate will be self-driven and proactive.

You will be expected to be on the on-call rota, including night shifts. Commitments are typically 1 in 9, covering theatres and maternity; the exact deployment is dependent on experience and rota requirements. Occasionally, the on call rota is full, and an alternative rota will apply.
