PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A BOFAS-listed Royal Orthopaedic Hospital fellowship with broad adult and paediatric foot-and-ankle exposure. The current host confirms the tertiary unit and two surgeons; detailed timetable, housing, benefits and contract language come from an older document and require reconfirmation.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Historical BOFAS-linked description: research, audit, teaching, BOFAS meeting attendance and no routine on-call commitment; confirm current terms
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.
ACCOMMODATION & RELOCATION

✓ Official source mentions accommodation
⌂
Historical BOFAS-linked description says visiting medical staff could normally obtain nearby housing; current availability and cost are not published
Housing availability, rent, deposits, utilities and relocation support can change by intake and appointment type. OrthoFellow does not estimate living costs unless an official source publishes them.

Faculty rosters may change.
PROGRAM HISTORY
Published fellowship history
The BOFAS-linked document describes a service configuration that anticipated a consultant appointment in 2021 and labels its timetable as pre-COVID. Curriculum, housing and work-pattern details are therefore historical unless confirmed by the host.
