University Hospital Wishaw
Clinical Fellow in General Surgery
Based at University Hospital Wishaw, Clinical Fellow posts are available in General Surgery and will be available from August 2026 for a period of 12 months. The posts are ideally suited to someone FY2 or more senior who is looking for development opportunities before proceeding with core training or applying for ST3/LAT posts, however they can be equally suited to those looking towards applications for a Portfolio Pathway or a career as a Specialty Doctor in Surgery.
The posts will be based at University Hospital Wishaw and the successful candidate will join the enthusiastic General Surgical Team comprising 11 Consultant General Surgeons, a team of Breast Surgeons and four other Specialty Grade Doctors to provide General Surgical Services to University Hospital Wishaw. The Hospital provides an excellent opportunity to gain experience in Emergency General Surgery with a separate receiving and theatre “CEPOD” consultant during core working hours, offering unrivalled supervision and training. Elective activities are allocated through a weekly rota and include potential for endoscopy training as well as theatre for core surgical procedures such as hernias and training in minimally invasive surgery. There are numerous opportunities to enhance portfolios through education and training, and the unit remains committed to supporting this development with a strong track record of fellows being selected for surgical training at both CT, ST3 and senior level towards Portfolio Pathway.

Requirements
Applicants should hold full GMC registration with a license to practice and have at least one year’s full time Postgraduate Training (or its equivalent gained on a part time or flexible basis). Applications are also welcomed from candidates who, for personal reasons, may be interested in working on a part time basis.
Although the post is not officially recognised by NES for training, the successful applicant will have the same opportunities in the busy unit as other trainees. The post is a full shift rota with commitments to daytime and out of hours on call on the junior tier of the rota.
Individuals who have trained out with the UK process will be supported in this role where there will be a robust induction period that will help individuals integrate into the role. Our induction will extend to a two weeks softer landing observation period for successful candidates dependent on your experience. If this was the case you would initially work 40 hours per week and following your period of support you will move onto the full rota, for which you will incur a full banding supplement.
Accommodation may be available for those who reside out with NHS Lanarkshire area for an initial period of 3 months to allow successful candidates to relocate to the area.
