Spine Surgery Fellowship
Hands-on training in degenerative, traumatic and minimally invasive spine surgery.
Training mode
You join the spine surgery unit as a fellow under an assigned senior consultant, one-to-one, for the full placement.
- In theatre: you scrub in on spine lists from the start. Your role grows from positioning and exposure to decompression and instrumentation, as your consultant judges you ready.
- In clinic: you assess spine patients alongside your consultant, from neurological examination and MRI review to surgical planning.
- After surgery: you follow your patients on the ward and through their early rehabilitation plan.
- 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.
