The expectation is that during this tenure, and with support from the Unit, you would enhance your Curriculum Vitae by submitting publications to peer-reviewed journals, and presentations to learned societies.

To practise medicine in the UK you need to hold both GMC full registration and a Licence to Practise. Training opportunities will be made available to the successful candidate.
