This junior clinical fellow post sits in trauma and orthopaedic surgery at North Middlesex University Hospital, part of Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust. The work centres on SHO-grade cover on rotating shifts across trauma, orthopaedics and urology, with an on-call rota and rapid response to A&E.

Applicants need full GMC registration and previous trauma and orthopaedic experience.
