PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A post-training fellowship based in MFT's Wythenshawe orthopaedic service. Its published framework combines advanced surgery with rheumatology, diabetic-foot, plastics, radiology and infection MDTs, plus research, audit and BOFAS academic engagement.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
The curriculum requires at least 500 operative-framework points per six-month period, a research project, an audit or practice-development project and academic engagement with BOFAS, including scientific submission and congress or course participation.
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.
