## Description

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an ST3+ equivalent Clinical Fellow in Anaesthesia seeking Specialist Registration through the CESR route in South East London.

This innovative programme offers a structured pathway to CESR, combining high-quality clinical experience with dedicated educational supervision across tertiary, specialist and district general hospital settings. The programme duration is flexible, ranging from 1 to 4 years depending on individual training needs and progression.

The programme is delivered collaboratively by Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust (including Evelina London Children's Hospital), Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust, and the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (Queen Square), with Guy's and St Thomas' as the employing organisation.

Fellows will rotate between Guy's and St Thomas' and Lewisham hospitals, with a dedicated neuroanaesthesia and neurocritical care placement at Queen Square where required. Training is aligned to the 2021 Royal College of Anaesthetists Curriculum and provides exposure to Stage 2 and Stage 3 competencies, including cardiothoracic, neuro, paediatric and obstetric anaesthesia, pain medicine, intensive care and major elective surgery.
