Academic Fellowships

NIHR Academic Clinical Fellowships (ACFs) are tailored training posts, which incorporate academic and clinical training.

About the ACF

• ACFs are designed for clinically qualified candidates who can demonstrate outstanding potential for a career in academic medicine or dentistry.
• The training will require the ACF to spend 25% of their time undertaking academic training combined with clinical training in the remaining 75%.
• A fellowship lasts for a maximum of 3 years (4 years for General Practitioners).

How to Apply

ACF recruitment is handled by NHS England.

Posts are advertised from mid-October for a start date of August the following year.
