PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A twelve-month Stevenage shoulder-and-elbow fellowship accredited by RCS England and BESS through September 2027. The register publishes supervisors, outcomes and indicative operative numbers, but not a current vacancy, salary or application deadline.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Progressive senior shoulder-and-elbow training with expected performed-case exposure of about 20 shoulder arthroplasties, 30 shoulder arthroscopies and 40 upper-limb trauma cases, plus research and audit projects
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.

OrthoFellow displays a portrait only when it can be tied to an official profile or faculty source; otherwise the host institution brandmark is shown, with initials retained only when neither image is available.
