One advanced Hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) full-time fully-funded Fellowship is available at the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. This is designed to complement the existing hepatology and gastroenterology service and offer advanced training in HPB medicine and intervention. This post, available from January 2026, will involve 12 months as an advanced HPB Fellow (includes 2 ERCP lists, 1-2 EUS lists, hepatology clinic, hepatobiliary cancer MDT, benign hepatology MDT, liver histology, and review of inpatient referrals). As with all our SCF posts, the principle is that there is a combination of clinical and academic sessions each week, the academic sessions being allocated to support clinical trials, a personal project, teaching and administration. As with all 6 Senior Clinical Fellows in Oxford, the endoscopy session is flexible and may need to be worked on a Saturday. The John Radcliffe provides an integrated service with Horton General Hospital.
