Applications are invited for a fixed term Clinical Fellowship at the Pulvertaft Hand Centre, Royal Derby Hospital to start August 2025.

Approximately 4000 operations are performed each year, with over 7000 new patient attendances through the Centre. All aspects of Hand Surgery injury or disease are treated within the Department.

Clinical duties will involve staffing out-patient clinics and elective operating lists. A wide variety of procedures are performed, including Rheumatoid, Congenital, Brachial Plexus, and micro-surgery.
Trauma and elective surgery both take place at the Royal Derby Hospital, and considerable operative experience is obtained both supervised and subsequently un-supervised.
