Senior Clinical Fellow in Transplant and Cardiac Anaesthesia
NHS Medical & Dental: Senior Clinical Fellow
Job overview
Applications are invited for a Subspecialty Senior Clinical Fellowship programme in Transplant and Cardiac Anaesthesia. This is a dual fellowship with Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH) and Royal Papworth Hospital (RPH).
This post is to start from 04 February 2026 for a period of 12 months.
The Senior Clinical Fellow post would suit applicants who have completed or nearly completed a recognised anaesthetic specialist training program, including someone who already possesses a CCT in Anaesthesia. The posts offer the opportunity to increase general anaesthetic experience prior to taking up a consultant post and also to develop or further an interest in a subspecialty of Anaesthesia.
Main duties of the job
The Combined Liver and Cardiac Fellowship has been developed for anaesthetists with a special interest in liver transplant, hepatobiliary surgery as well as adult cardiothoracic anaesthesia and critical care (including focus ultrasounds examinations and perioperative transoesophageal echocardiography).
The appointed candidates will spend their first six months in either CUH or RPH and swap at the end of their rotation period.
Please note - due to the two hospitals being under different Trust the time spent in each institution must be compacted over six months.
A Senior Clinical Fellow will be effectively working at Junior Consultant level with Senior Consultant support and distant supervision available at all times. Senior Clinical Fellows participate in a non-resident on call rota.
Full Registration and a Licence to Practice with the General Medical Council at time of commencement is required.
Please note that these posts do not carry Postgraduate Dean’s approval or training recognition.
Working for our organisation
The applicant must have demonstrable skills in listening, reading, writing and speaking in English that enable effective communication about medical topics with patients and colleagues, as set out in the GMC’s Good Medical Practice (2013). Non-UK applicants must possess the IELTS/OET exam before obtaining a GMC licence to practice.
