Job Overview

Applications are invited for Junior Clinical Fellows (CT1 Equivalent Level) in ENT.

These are the current applicable pay scales; however, these may change upon implementation of the framework agreement for reform to the terms and conditions of service for resident doctors and dentists in Wales. Further details can be found at BMA+-+Framework+Agreement+Wales
