Advanced Training Fellowships
(Post Certificate)
Advanced training is now facilitated through post-certification JCST Training Fellowships, succeeding and replacing pre-certification TIG Fellowships.
Entering its third year of operation, the unique collaboration between the UK’s statutory education bodies, JCST, SACs and the specialty associations will create posts throughout the UK commencing on the 6th of August 2025 in the following sub-specialties.
- Cleft Lip & Palate Surgery
- Hand Surgery
- Head and Neck Surgical Oncology
- Oncoplastic Breast Surgery
- Major Trauma
- Mohs
- Spinal Surgery
The posts offer a year of 6 months of intensive training and are suitable for candidates who have a demonstrable interest in the specific sub-specialties.
The fellowships will be open solely to applicants that will be post-certification or appear on the GMC and/or Irish Specialist Registers at the start date of the post. These posts are most suited to those applicants within two years of the completion of specialty training.
These unique posts provide an attractive option for a flexible year. The basic salary will be in line with Nodal Point 5 (MT05) and the Terms and Conditions of Service will be specific to the Trust that holds the employment contract.
The qualifications and professional registration requirements plus other eligibility criteria can be found in the person specification within the resources tab.
