Clinical Development Fellowships

We are offering clinical development fellowships in Trauma & Orthopaedics based at Glasgow Royal Infirmary.

Glasgow Royal Infirmary is a trauma unit and also provides significant tertiary orthopaedic trauma and elective services.

A minimum of 80% of the time will be dedicated to clinical work with plenty of opportunities for audit and research. Trainees will be primarily team-based, working closely with a registrar and a consultant.

These posts are primarily designed to support junior doctors aspiring to start on a specialty training programme. Fellows will work on the rota alongside Core Trainees and will be supported by a clinical supervisor and an educational supervisor.

A brief outline of duties involved is shown below:

1. Elective & Trauma Theatre duties.
2. Orthopaedic Clinic & Fracture Clinic duties.
