Senior Clinic Fellow in Lower Limb Arthroplasty in Birmingham

The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust invites applications from highly motivated and suitably qualified individuals to the role of Senior Clinical Fellow in Lower Limb Arthroplasty Surgery. The posts will be commencing from August 2026 and February 2027 for a 12‑month period. 6‑month posts can be considered.

The post-holder will join a team of surgeons enthusiastic about lower limb arthroplasty, particularly the management of complex and revision procedures. The fellowship team consists of eight specialist Lower Limb Arthroplasty surgeons and three consultants who specialise in Young Adult Hip. The posts will concentrate on joint replacement and management of complex and urgent revision procedures, with potential exposure to Young Adult Hip if appropriate. One post will provide exposure to computer‑assisted and robotic‑assisted hip and knee arthroplasty under the supervision of Professor Davis, and the other will concentrate more on revision hip surgery under the supervision of Mr David Dunlop.

The department undertakes a comprehensive range of surgical procedures, from hip preservation surgery through to custom‑made implants for complex revision cases with massive bone loss. The timetable can be tailored depending on the appointee’s specific area of interest. Potential areas include hip resurfacing; hip and knee replacement (cemented, uncemented and occasional custom‑made cases); revision hip and knee surgery (including cases with multiple previous procedures); navigated hip and knee surgery and robotic hip and knee replacements.

The appointee will be expected to participate in all aspects of the Clinical Governance structure developed by the Trusts to monitor, maintain and develop the quality and effectiveness of care. The Trusts are committed to the development of medical staff through individual appraisal, which will include:

• Audit of personal clinical practice as well as involvement in department/specialty reviews
• Attention to continuing professional development and meeting the requirements for Continuing Medical Education defined by the relevant Royal College (with appropriate study leave support available)
• Awareness of professional standards and the responsibility to undertake safe and ethical clinical practice
• The importance of responding promptly to any circumstances which may result in increased clinical risk of adverse outcome
