Host Organisations - Clinical Fellow Scheme Enquiry Form

Clinical Fellow Schemes (CFS) provide healthcare and associated organisations with the opportunity to engage some of the most talented clinicians in the UK, many of whom are likely to be the senior leaders of the future.

To participate in the scheme, FMLM asks organisations to commit to the following principles:

• Support a contract (secondment or fixed term) for the duration of the fellowship.
• Support the objectives of the scheme, to develop aspiring clinical leaders by providing an environment conducive to developing the skills, knowledge, insight, and behaviours required to transition to their role as a leader.
• Assign roles that aim to enhance fellows’ strategic understanding of the multiple systems that work together to provide health care and the varied faces of healthcare leadership.
• Expose clinical fellows to and engage them in high level strategic leadership and decision-making and supported to contribute to work required to support the process of decision making.
• Ensure clinical fellows have protected time to engage in the scheme’s development programme and attend appropriate FMLM events.

Clinical fellows step out of clinical practice or training for 12 months and work with senior leaders and teams in a diverse range of organisations including those shown below:

A view from a host organisation…"In hosting clinical fellows, we have found that other staff, both clinical and non-clinical, have been able to engage with areas of work in more depth and detail than might otherwise be possible, whilst also improving links and collaborative working across the organisation. There are also significant benefits in staff being able to engage with clinical fellows currently working at the front line of clinical services, and for these insights to help shape the work of our entire organisation.”
