Successful candidates will be required to attend the National IBTPHEM Induction Course on 8th 14th August 2026 and our local induction course on 7th 11th September 2026. Ongoing employment at TVAA will depend on rota requirements and candidates successfully obtaining the FIMC examination upon completing their Fellowship.
