Host organisations have the opportunity to be part of a prestigious portfolio of schemes that develop a growing community of future clinical leaders who advocate and influence clinical, organisational and patient improvements across multiple healthcare systems.
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. 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.

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 objective 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.
