The 2025 UCL- Wellington Clinical Fellowship scheme is now open for applications.
UCL and the Wellington Hospital are partners in a long-standing programme in which Fellows study for a PhD in the UCL Institute of Cardiovascular Science while working at the UK’s largest private hospital providing specialist complex care.
These Clinical Fellowships will be available to Specialist Registrars looking to undertake a PhD grounded in cardiovascular science but with the possibility of jointly focussing across related disciplines such as nephrology, diabetes, and neurology. They will have the opportunity to select a research project and a supervisor from across the range of disciplines in the UCL Institute of Cardiovascular Science.
Fellows will register for their higher degrees at UCL (part-time). Their salary will be funded by The Wellington Hospital who will also cover their annual higher degree registration fee and an annual allowance for consumables for a period of up to 3 years. In return, the Fellows are employed directly by the Hospital, working the equivalent of 30 hours per week.
We welcome all applicants who are medically qualified, GMC registered and have MRCP. The scheme is open only to UK nationals due to funding restrictions.
