Training/fellowships

Mr CM Robinson runs an industry-funded fellowship for a 6 month period. This fellowship is competitive and candidates are chosen 18 to 24 months prior to commencing. The fellowship is aimed at post CCST trainees with an interest in shoulder surgery and some experience in shoulder arthoscopy/reconstruction and trauma. For details, please contact Kimberley Moore-Ede.
