Clinical allocations can be daytime on call, theatre or clinics.
On call: one night per week (Monday – Thursday, 5 out of 8 weeks), Friday night (1 out of 8), weekend (1 out of 8)
This timetable currently reflects the allocations for a clinical fellow who does not wish to perform research. If the post holder decides to pursue research some of the clinical time will be reallocated as research time. The timetable has to be flexible enough to allow short term changes to cover clinical commitments as required.
