Job summary

Applications are invited for the post of Shoulder and Elbow Fellow at University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust, covering University Hospital Coventry and Hospital of St Cross Rugby.

Specialist knowledge in the field of Shoulder and Elbow surgery is required (minimum of 12 months in Shoulder and Elbow posts at SpR level) and the fellow will be expected to undertake some independent Clinical work in outpatients and the operating theatre.
