The South East Clinical Senate have hosted Clinical Fellows from Public Health and the Faculty of Medical Leadership and Management (FMLM) scheme. Clinical Fellows have an excellent opportunity to gain strategic leadership experience as part of our everyday work, focus and outputs. In the past, Clinical Fellows have worked on a joint Hypertension Quality Improvement Project and taken forward the Senate’s work on Healthcare Sustainability and Health Inequalities.
Clinical Fellows placed with the Clinical Senate have the unique opportunity to work and interact with regional and national senior leaders and clinical specialists. The experience allows them to develop networks across a wide range of health and care systems.
