Advanced & Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery Fellowship
Hands-on training in adult cardiac surgery, from conventional open-heart operations to minimally invasive approaches.
Training mode
You join the cardiac surgery department as a fellow under an assigned senior consultant, one-to-one, for the full placement.
- In theatre: you scrub in on adult cardiac lists from the start. Your hands-on role grows step by step, from opening and closing and conduit harvesting to cannulation and assisting at the main repair, as your consultant judges you ready.
- On bypass: you learn the set-up and conduct of cardiopulmonary bypass, working closely with the perfusion and cardiac anaesthesia teams.
- In the cardiac ICU: you follow your patients through post-operative intensive care and recovery.
- Clinic & heart team: you take part in pre-operative assessment, case selection and heart team discussions.
Your actual level of involvement (observing, assisting, or performing steps under supervision) is decided by your supervising consultant, based on your previous experience, skills, competency, and overall performance.
