Surgical Fellow

**Surgical Fellowships**:
There is a 12 month post available with an immediate start.

Our recent fellowship posts have all been successful in gaining a substantive SpR training number 2018/19/20.

Upper GI/ Colorectal Fellow

Weekly timetable would include on average 2-3 theatre sessions, 1-2 outpatient clinic sessions and 2 optional research sessions. Although based with the colorectal & upper GI teams, a degree of cross cover within general surgery and vascular is expected
- offering the trainee a broader experience. One week in 8 is “Hot-Week” covering emergency surgery - this is well-structured with a team-based system.

The post will build on core skills attained at CT1 & 2 and allow further development within General and Emergency Surgery.

All Registrar level surgeons are involved in all teams and share the on call service with compliant shift patterns.

Regular outpatient clinics, theatre sessions and registrar on-call duties (1 in 8). Endoscopy training is available to interested trainees.
