About the Fellowship
The fellowship is a clinical and research training position for a period of 12 months. During this time, the fellow will work under the supervision of the MRC Lead. The fellow will also have the opportunity to cover lists with all four of the consultants that cover arthroplasty and revision knee surgery.
Aim of the Fellowship
The aim of the fellowship is to prepare the individual for a sub-specialist career in complex knee surgery. It is expected that by the end of the fellowship, the fellow should be able to plan and independently execute knee arthroplasty cases. There will also be exposure to primary and revision arthroplasty surgery, as well as unicompartmental arthroplasty and osteotomy. Fellows also have a commitment to the general orthopaedic trauma on-call rota, sharing an on-call position amongst the middle grade team.
