Academic Clinical Fellows

The Foundation Programme posts allow medical and dental trainees to combine research training with clinical training ready to compete for a Research Training Fellowship leading to a PhD.

As an Academic Clinical Fellow, you are funded to spend 25% of your time over a period of up to three years (up to 4 years for General Practice trainees) in a formal programme of research preparation, research training and research activity, whilst continuing with your clinical training and achieving the required clinical competencies.

Posts are available in a range of disciplines. Core Medical Training posts will be based at University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust. All will be following a general medicine rotation during the first 2 years before embarking on specialty training in the 3rd year.

How to apply

Applications for our 2022 Academic Clinical Fellows (ACF) posts will open in October 2021, details of which will be found at Workforce Deanery.
