PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
An annual BOFAS grant supporting eligible UK trainees or BOFAS-approved fellows undertaking a six- to twelve-month specialist foot-and-ankle fellowship. It supplements host-centre training and is not itself a clinical employment post.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT

Travel and fellowship support grant; exact eligible expenses depend on the award.
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.

Names and fellowship roles come from the cited programme source. A green “individual profile verified” label means the position, qualifications and biography were also checked against an official personal or institutional profile.
