Rhinology & Endoscopic Skull Base Fellowship
Hands-on training in endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery.
Training mode
You join the rhinology department as a fellow under an assigned senior consultant, one-to-one, for the full placement.
- In theatre: you work at the endoscope from the start. Your role grows from endoscope handling to sinus dissection steps, as your consultant judges you ready.
- In clinic: you assess sinus patients with nasal endoscopy and CT review, 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.
