Main duties of the job

This is an innovative post rotating through clinical departments giving a broad exposure to surgery mirroring the Core Surgical Training Programme.

This is a standalone one-year post of clinical rotations in surgical specialties and is structured and administered as per the core surgical training programme to allow full or partial sign off via a certificate of equivalence. These posts are at junior clinical fellow level equivalent to CT1. For this reason, applicants must have undertaken work in the NHS in surgical specialties prior to application.
