PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
Alder Hey Paediatric Orthopaedic Fellowship is retained from the current official BSCOS source with its published identity and available programme fields. BSCOS states that its list is a planning aid and that the society is not responsible for the posts. Current intake, clinical privileges and employment terms therefore remain confirmation-required unless the cited programme source states them explicitly.
Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool, opened in 1914, is among the largest children's hospitals in the world and a level 1 paediatric major trauma centre. Its orthopaedic department has seventeen consultants, described as the largest group of dedicated children's orthopaedic surgeons in Europe, and offers paediatric orthopaedic and spinal fellowship training. Host: Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation Trust.
