Summary

Applications are invited for a post-CCT Fellow in Shoulder and Elbow Surgery to commence at the beginning of August 2026. This fellowship post has been approved by the Royal College of Surgeons and the British Elbow and Shoulder Society (BESS) as part of the RCS Senior Clinical Fellowship Scheme.

This is an excellent opportunity within the Shoulder and Elbow unit at East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust. This is a clinical and research fellowship that will provide intensive experience in the full range of shoulder and elbow surgery, co-supervised by three consultants, Mr Adam Rumian, Mr Harpal Singh Uppal and Mr Angelos Assiotis. In addition, there is a full time Specialist upper limb surgeon, Mr Clarence Yeoh, that the fellow will have the opportunity to work with.

This is a fixed term appointment for 12 months based at Lister Hospital in Stevenage to commence at the beginning of August 2026. The post is full time with a fixed 1:12 non-resident on call commitment on the Consultant rota, combined with 1:12 weekend trauma lists. The post is designed to provide a platform for a post-CCT surgeon to achieve a Consultant post. The post is paid at the Trust salary scale for Senior Clinical Fellows and attracts a pay supplement to reflect the hours worked.

The Fellow will be exposed to and expected to participate in all aspects of shoulder and elbow surgery including major arthroscopic procedures, arthroplasty, tendon transfers, complex trauma and revision surgery. There are regular weekly elective and upper limb trauma lists with the supervising consultants. There is scope for parallel and independent operating lists and clinics depending on the progress of the fellow over the year.

The Fellow will be actively involved in research and audit and will be responsible for running the MDT meeting. They will be expected to participate in the department’s research program and would be supported in initiating original research. The fellow should aim to publish two peer reviewed publications over the year. The fellow will be supported in these activities.

At East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust, we are proud of the range of general and specialist services we provide and our 6,000 or so dedicated staff ensure our patients get the best care. Our ability to be flexible and innovative in the way in which we work and deliver our services to our catchment has never been more important than it is now.

We run the following hospitals:
• The Lister Hospital, Stevenage

• Mount Vernon Cancer Centre (MVCC), Northwood

We have ambitious plans to become an outstanding, patient-led Trust where dedicated staff provide high-quality, compassionate care to our patients. We continue to undergo significant transformation and our staff and patients are at the heart of delivering this ambitious agenda.

We are committed to a positive work life balance for our employees. This means that any employee is entitled to seek to work flexible working patterns and we are committed to listen and consider all requests. Such requests, of course, have to be made and considered formally, and will need to be balanced against service needs, but our starting point will always be to find ways to support making them happen.
