The NDA has a wealth of Fellowship training opportunities to offer to recently-qualified anaesthetists. The department comprises almost 120 Consultant Anaesthetists and over 50 anaesthetic trainees. Many faculty members are world-renowned in their subspecialty field, and have secured peer reviewed funding and high impact publications. Many others are excellent teachers and mentors.
To be eligible for a clinical Fellowship, the applicant must have completed at least 5 years of anaesthesia training and practice, and completed all specialty certification exams in their country of origin before starting the Fellowship. Evidence of English proficiency is required if medical training did not occur in English. Preference will be given to applicants who demonstrate a keen interest in their chosen Fellowship area.
Over the 80 years of its existence, the NDA has contributed extensively to the training of anaesthetists through courses for the Primary and Final FRCA, Airway Management, Simulation, Human Factors, Clinical Measurement, Anaesthesia in Developing Countries, and Regional Anaesthesia.
