10 fellows are appointed annually to advanced training positions in hand surgery. There are currently 11 centres approved for training (some centres have multiple posts) and trainees have the opportunity to preference which of the centres they would consider training within as part of the application process. If a centre has more than one post then start dates are usually staggered, one fellowship commencing in February and a second in August.
