PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A retained historical profile for Sheffield's 12-month post-CCT foot-and-ankle fellowship. The cited NHS intake began in August 2026 and is closed; its salary, eligibility, four faculty and clinical scope remain documented, but no new vacancy is inferred from the programme's accreditation.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Post-CCT elective and trauma foot-and-ankle training with clinical work, research, audit and multidisciplinary meetings
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.
