This is a prestigious scheme open to medical and dental trainees in Scotland who have the ambition and curiosity to push their development to new heights. As summarised by a previous fellow:
”As a doctor, I want to be an active participant in how patient care is designed. I don't want to be frustrated by system failures, I want to be inspired by the challenge, and this fellowship is helping me acquire the knowledge, skills and contacts required to do so.”
These one-year posts are an integral aspect of NHS Scotland’s approach to developing Professionalism & Excellence in the medical and dental professions. Fellows will have a bespoke opportunity to develop leadership capabilities and contribute to aspects of contemporary health- and care-related activity. The programme aims to provide NHS Scotland with a cadre of doctors and dentists that are committed to living and working in Scotland and have enhanced capability to offer leadership in their work place and potentially at national and international levels.
