Summary
Applicants are invited to join our highly regarded and successful Wirral Academic Surgical Program as General Surgical Research Fellows within the trust. This program has been extremely effective with many fellows (both UK and International graduates) obtaining National Training Numbers after completion of our programme.
We believe these research fellowship posts offer an outstanding opportunity for ambitious trainees to enhance their CVs in a supportive and structured environment and maximise their chances of successful entry to higher surgical training.
These posts are aimed at candidates who have completed Core Surgical training or are at Specialist Registrar level and are seeking a National Training Number.
We recognise the difficulties encountered by current trainees in obtaining higher surgical training and these posts are specifically designed to add value through education, research and improved clinical exposure.
Fellows are enrolled on the fully funded University of Edinburgh Master of Surgery (ChM) or the new MSc in Gastrointestinal Surgery delivered by the Trust in partnership with the University of Chester. Please note all tuition fees will be paid by the trust. The trust can also support the tuition fees and enrolment for the Post Graduate Certificate or Diploma in Medical Education.
Fellows enjoy protected research time in their job plan (2 PA) with the same allowances for annual leave as deanery trainees. Trainees also have access to a study leave allowance, separate from their tuition fees.
All new colleagues can expect to receive a warm and friendly Wirral welcome from the very first time they make contact with us. We are described as “competent and caring staff” by our patients.
