Medical registration
Clinical practice requires the appropriate GMC registration and licence. International graduates must use an eligible GMC route and provide the medical qualification, experience, English, identity and good-standing evidence required for that route.
✓Published by official source
Language
Doctors who need UK registration must satisfy the GMC that they have the English knowledge needed to practise safely; accepted evidence depends on the applicant's registration route.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A historical twelve-month Southampton Senior Fellow call under FEPOS supervision, closed on 22 January 2026. EPOS publishes the host, duration, standard application package and orthopaedic-training eligibility, but the PDF's working-requirements section inconsistently cites Irish registration and work-permit rules for this United Kingdom host; language, registration and visa terms therefore require fresh confirmation.
Intended for: Surgeons who have completed orthopaedic training; selected paediatric surgeons with documented paediatric orthopaedic training may be considered
BENEFITS & SUPPORT

A paid twelve-month senior fellowship in paediatric orthopaedics under FEPOS supervision
