Clinical Development Fellow | Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

The aim of our Clinical Development Fellow Programme is to either support overseas doctors with their transition into the NHS or for UK trained doctors to further develop a portfolio of evidence within Medical specialties. All doctors will be given a full medical education programme. This will be tailored and matched to your training and career progression needs. Clinical Fellows will have the opportunity to sit their Royal College Examinations, which they must self-fund. Clinical Fellows will stay in the programme for up to 2 years. At the end of the programme, all Clinical Fellows, whether UK or Overseas, will have a full portfolio of evidence of clinical experience, appraisal and assessment and, if they chose to take them, Royal College exams. Please note we are unable to support MTI applications. Clinical role As a Clinical Development Fellow at the Trust you will be working with a team of Consultants, Specialist Trainees, Core Trainees and Foundation Year Trainees. Each post has a generic clinical component in Acute and General Medicine with 6 monthly rotations (following supernumerary sign off) within Geriatrics, Respiratory Medicine, Acute Medicine and one other specialty (to be determined based on slot availability).
