PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A historical BSSH directory identity for Brighton and Sussex. The linked form is blank, so duration, faculty, funding, eligibility and recruitment terms remain explicitly unpublished rather than inferred.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Protected weekly research, quality-improvement and teaching time, limited major-trauma on-call, supervised clinics and theatre, and progressive operative independence
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.
