Otology & Ear Surgery Fellowship

Training mode

You join the otology department as a fellow under an assigned senior consultant, one-to-one, for the full placement.

• In theatre: you work at the microscope from the start. Your role grows from incisions and graft harvest to middle-ear steps, as your consultant judges you ready.
• In clinic: you assess ear patients with audiology and imaging, and take part in surgical planning.
• After surgery: you follow your patients on the ward and in post-operative clinics.
• Academic: you take part in the department's case 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.
