Essentially the structure, content and responsibilities of the posts are similar to Specialty Registrar training posts. Training will be supervised by a named consultant. At the end of the training period a Certificate of Postgraduate Training will be awarded. The duties of the posts are normal registrar-level responsibilities that include care of inpatients, specialty outpatient clinics, and relevant diagnostic or invasive procedures under consultant supervision. Training will be supervised by a named consultant.

The Programme will include Audit projects, Clinical Governance, and where possible, research. The typical candidate should have full MRCP, or at least Part I MRCP with a plan to take Part II/PACES in the next 6 months. Completion of the post will help prepare the candidate for further specialist training in the UK or abroad. Fellows will be expected to join the weekly teaching sessions and Grand Rounds. In-house training is provided for PACES/MRCP part II, and study leave will be available to help candidates attend courses for MRCP preparation, or other areas of training.
