PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A twelve-month RBWH upper-limb role spanning trauma, microsurgery, peripheral nerve, elective reconstruction, teaching and research. The most recent first-party recruitment closed 12 May 2026, so the profile preserves its details without presenting an open application.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
First-party 2026 recruitment described teaching, research, quality assurance, clinical audit and multidisciplinary-care responsibilities
Benefits may depend on appointment type, training level, visa status and the active academic year. OrthoFellow keeps stipend and benefits separate so a salary figure is not mistaken for the full package.
