The role

This Junior Clinical Fellowship in Neurocritical Care offers a fantastic opportunity to gain knowledge, skills, and experience of working in a tertiary multidisciplinary team. It would be an ideal post for those at F3 level or Core Training who wish to strengthen an application for speciality training in the fields of Anaesthesia, ICM, Neurology, Neurosurgery, ACCS, or Emergency Medicine.
