The BOA is aware that we
are currently seeing reduced numbers of T&O training posts, and a large
number of trainees are expected to be seeking these training posts. In response to this and as part of the BOA’s
Training and Education Strategy we have developed the concept of the BOA post
CCT Transitional Fellowships. These are designed to attract and help CCT
holders without substantive consultant posts.
The BOA transitional
fellowships will run for the second year in 2013–2014. The programme has the
support of the BOA, BOTA, British Orthopaedic Directors Society and Bone and
Joint Journal.
About the 2013/14
fellowships
For Trusts: The application form for Trusts to host these
fellowships is now closed, however there is the possibility of further posts
becoming available.
For prospective fellows:
The first batch of 2013/14 transitional fellowships
have been approved, and are starting to be advertised. A full list is available
here. The best way
to receive information is via the http://www.jobs.nhs.uk website and
set up an "in advert" alert for transitional fellow.
Posts will
commence in August or October 2013. Fellows must be BOA members.
About the fellowship
programme
The fellow will undertake clinical duties and an improvement
programme, which are specified by the Trust hosting the fellowship and are
described in the
list of fellowships. The improvement project would be under the guidance of the
local Clinical Director or interested clinician, and will be a project deemed
useful to the Trust and the fellow.
The fellow will undertake a formal educational element,
which will include structured university training and recognition at post-graduate
certificate level. The details of the educational element are as fellows:
