Senior Clinical Fellow ST3-5, Neurology and Stroke

The closing date is 17 March 2026

We are seeking Senior Clinical Fellows in Neurology and Stroke. Previous NHS experience is essential for this post. This post is designed to offer experience, and supervised training to doctors who have obtained the MRCP qualification, or are due to soon, and plan to pursue further training in Neurology and/or Stroke medicine in the UK.

This is not a Deanery post; however, the post is structured to provide a portfolio-based Postgraduate Training Programme similar to the Deanery model. The Trust is committed to providing the medical training content.

Essentially the structure, content and responsibilities of the posts are similar to Specialty Registrar training posts. Training will be supervised by a named consultant. At the end of the training period a Certificate of Postgraduate Training will be awarded.

The typical candidate should have full MRCP, or at least Part I MRCP with a plan to take Part II/PACES in the next 6 months. Completion of the post will help prepare the candidate for further specialist training in the UK or abroad.
