PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
Nottingham publishes a six-month high-volume soft-tissue knee fellowship available from August 2029. It describes approximately 300 cases per fellow, substantial primary-surgeon experience and broad ligament, cartilage, meniscal and paediatric knee exposure; the future NHS Jobs deadline is not yet published.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Research time, active projects and publication support, elective soft-tissue knee work at Nottingham City Hospital and major-trauma multiligament exposure at Queen's Medical Centre.
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.
