Clinical Fellow in Anaesthesia
The closing date is 13 May 2026.
This application is for the post of Clinical Fellow in Anaesthesia at University College Hospitals NHS Trust. The post is offered on a 12‑month fixed term basis and provides an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and driven candidate to join a progressive and dynamic department. They will contribute to developing our goals of clinical excellence, training of the highest quality in Anaesthesia and Perioperative Medicine and world‑class research.
We offer a range of clinical fellowships, supervised by experts in their field. These include:
* Regional Anaesthesia
* Airway
* Thoracic Anaesthesia
* Complex Major Surgery/Bariatrics
* Obstetric Anaesthesia
Bespoke fellowships may be accommodated, dependent on availability. There is typically one post per subspecialty. You may wish to consider interest in multiple subspecialties at application/interview.
Main duties of the job
The post is for a clinical fellowship and will involve a majority of clinical sessions (at least 50%) in the chosen fellowship. This will be combined with sessions in other areas of personal interest and department needs. Fellows will also be given the opportunity to run appropriate elective lists independently to build their practice.
The post provides half a day per week for research, education and management. Fellows will be encouraged and expected to contribute to the department by engaging in quality improvement, audits, teaching or research, and will be supported to do so. The candidate sought will be self‑driven and proactive.
On call commitments are typically 1 in 9, covering theatres and/or the labour ward. Where the on‑call rota is full, an alternative rota will apply – this will be discussed beforehand should it apply.
