Applications are invited for a Clinical Fellow (SHO) post in Breast & General Surgery commencing as soon as possible and is fixed term for 12 months.

They will have their own educational supervisor. Active participation in surgical audit and clinical research projects will be encouraged. The appointee will have the opportunity to develop teaching skills within the department, and also through the undergraduate teaching programme.
