Curriculum

4-12 weeks curriculum

Fellows will be supported to settle down into their new environment (find appropriate accommodation, locate amenities, etc.). Desk space will be allocated. Full induction (safety, laboratory practices, personal welfare, etc.) will be provided by the University’s designated staff and by myself. I will arrange an initial meeting with the fellow to discuss the objectives of the training.

The fellow will be fully trained in all activities of the Department. They will be able to engage through hands-on training with me (supervisor) and other members of the group in different surgical procedures. They will also participate in clinical research and write a manuscript during their stay.

The fellow will be given the opportunity to partake in group meetings and other academic activities within the School and the University, including attending workshops, conferences, e.t.c. They will also be encouraged to present their work orally at a group meeting at least once before they complete their visit.

Towards the end of the training, I will have a meeting with the fellow to discuss plans to publish their clinical work (if enough data collected) or disseminate their findings in a future conference.

All throughout the training any particular challenges or specific requests of a fellow will be fully considered to ensure that a responsive, relevant and adequate training plan is developed for them.
