Senior Clinical Fellow in General Surgery/Colorectal
We are seeking to recruit a Senior Clinical Fellow in General Surgery/Colorectal in the West Middlesex University Hospital Site, Chelsea & Westminster Hospital Foundation Trust.
West Middlesex site has a long history of pioneering, innovative healthcare. Based in Isleworth, it is at the heart of the local community—a modern, award-winning hospital with state-of-the-art facilities.
The successful candidates will be supported to develop their CPD and will be encouraged to link in with the Trust’s many audit and research opportunities. The posts will either be part of the Breast or Colorectal surgical rotations, but candidates will also be supported to have learning opportunities within other surgical sub-specialties.
Enthusiastic, reliable, and highly motivated clinicians are invited to submit an application for the post of Specialist Registrar in General Surgery services. The successful candidate will become part of a team comprising of consultants and middle grades.
The General Surgery department has a strong teaching commitment, with weekly tutorials. There is a well-equipped Postgraduate Centre with library and audio-visual facilities on site.
To start as soon as possible.
The main duties of the post will be to assist in clinics and elective theatres. It is intended to offer appointees, where possible, equivalent opportunities for personal development as a SpR, i.e., a study leave entitlement and allocated study leave budget.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The timetable is arranged on a weekly basis by the Service Manager. You will be allocated to a number of Theatre and Outpatient sessions that will vary each week. Careful attention is made that all middle grades have equal opportunities in these areas.
Daily handover meetings are held at 8-8.30 am, which requires all clinicians who are finishing and starting their shifts to attend.
Academic afternoons are held every Friday. Sessions include audit, mortality and morbidity, clinic pathological conferences, and junior staff teaching, guest lectures, interdepartmental meetings, etc. Clinical activities are kept to a minimum to include emergency cover only, so that all members of each team can attend.
In addition, each Consultant firm holds a weekly multidisciplinary team meeting to discuss cases with appropriate fellow professionals. All doctors are expected to keep up-to-date with their clinic letter dictation.
