Fellowship Criteria
The Fellowships are open to ENT Specialty Registrars on approved (numbered) otolaryngology training programmes in the UK and Republic of Ireland. Applicants must have passed the Intercollegiate FRCS by the time the Fellowship commences but may be pre- or post-CCT. The grant takes the form of an educational stipend of £27,500 which is not liable to income tax under current HMRC regulations: this is intended to cover the first 6 months, and the second 6 months is funded through the host department.
Applicants for TWJ Major Fellowships should note that the Trustees have no objection to Fellows securing modest supplementary grants or awards to help with the expenses of their Fellowship. However, obtaining a second major Fellowship award from another source which matches or exceeds the TWJ grant would be unacceptable and liable to lead to withdrawal of the TWJ Fellowship.
Requirements for short-listing and interview:
- A statement on why you wish to apply for a TWJ Foundation Fellowship and how you would expect such a fellowship to influence your career
- A condensed version of your CV (no more than 4 sides of A4 paper)
- A letter of support from your Regional Training Programme Director
- A copy of your Log Book showing procedures that you have performed during training in the UK or Republic of Ireland to demonstrate your level of experience
- The names and contact details of at least two referees
The closing date for applications is Monday 20th January 2025 followed by interviews for the shortlisted candidates at the Royal College of Surgeons of England on Monday 24th March 2025. Interviews will be held jointly with the Graham Fraser Foundation, and candidates are encouraged to apply for both Foundations’ Fellowships.
