The RNOH are looking to appoint a post-CCT Clinical Fellow in Limb Reconstruction Orthopaedic Surgery (Adult and Paediatric) to start April 2026 for 12 months. Based at The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, this fellowship provides an excellent higher training opportunity in all aspects of Limb Reconstruction in a world-renowned tertiary referral centre for orthopaedic surgery. This will include experience with management of internal and external fixation, circular frames, lengthening nails and management of bone infection.
The successful candidate will experience the full range of adult and paediatric limb reconstruction surgery. The placement provides excellent opportunities for clinical and professional development. Throughout the duration of the fellowship the candidate will be expected to engage in the planning and delivery of services as well in research and service improvement projects.
This post does not attract an NTN, but is suitable for a candidate who has passed the FRCS (Tr & Orth) or equivalent, and is looking for subspecialty experience in complex elective limb reconstruction, bone infection and trauma. Applicants must have full GMC registration with a licence to practice prior to the start of employment.
