Bariatric & Metabolic Surgery Fellowship
Hands-on training in bariatric and metabolic surgery, from patient selection to long-term follow-up.
Training mode
You join the bariatric surgery unit as a fellow under an assigned senior consultant, one-to-one, for the full placement.
- In theatre: you scrub in on bariatric lists from the start. Your role grows from port placement and exposure to stapling and anastomosis, as your consultant judges you ready.
- In clinic: you assess patients with the multidisciplinary team, including dietitians and endocrinologists, and take part in selecting the right procedure.
- On the ward: you follow enhanced recovery protocols and early post-operative care.
- Follow-up: you join long-term follow-up clinics for nutrition, weight and metabolic outcomes.
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.
