This fellowship post would suit applicants who have completed or nearly completed a recognised anaesthetic specialist training programme, including someone who already possesses a CCT in anaesthesia or a senior anaesthetic registrar at UK ST6/7 level.
The post offers the opportunity to develop and increase anaesthetic experience in Neuroanaesthesia, prior to taking up a consultant post.

A Senior Clinical Fellow will be effectively working at Junior Consultant level with Senior Consultant support and distant supervision available at all times. Senior Clinical Fellows participate in a non-resident on call rota.
The Fellow will be expected to cover the Neuroanaesthesia service or the Stroke Thrombectomy service out of hours on a EWTD shift pattern.
Full Registration and a Licence to Practice with the General Medical Council at time of commencement is required.
Please note that these posts do not carry Postgraduate Dean’s approval or training recognition.
Working for our organisation
The applicant must have demonstrable skills in listening, reading, writing and speaking in English that enable effective communication about medical topics with patients and colleagues, as set out in the GMC’s Good Medical Practice (2013).
Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is an Equal Opportunities Employer.
