General
The 12-month fellowship closely matches the stage 2/3 and SIA curricula set (dependent on the applicant’s grade) to allow the fellow to develop as a well-rounded clinician.
The fellow will be encouraged and supported to initiate research, audit and departmental clinical governance activities. Previous fellows have presented their work at national and international meetings and have been published in peer-reviewed international journals. There is also the opportunity for the fellow to be involved in academic writing and many of our fellows have published book chapters and other peer reviewed manuscripts.
Previous experience of research is not essential and if not already completed, the fellow will be encouraged to attend a research methodology course.
There are many opportunities for teaching and multi-disciplinary training.
Clinical
The successful applicant’s hours will include elective and emergency on-call obstetric and general on-calls. There will be plenty of opportunity to attend high risk obstetric anaesthetic clinics, MDT obstetric meetings, SI meetings, labour ward forums and risk management meetings.
