Clinical Fellow Renal Services

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK employing around 40,000 staff in a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and job roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health care services to a population of over 1.15 million and a wider population of 2.2 million when our regional and national services are included.

The shift pattern for this post is Rotational.

This is a Fixed term post for 6 Months.

This post is available from August 2026 based in the Glasgow Renal and Transplant Unit at the new Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Glasgow for 6 months in the first instance. This is an exciting opportunity to gain or extend your clinical experience in all aspects of clinical nephrology, haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. There will also be an opportunity to gain experience of looking after patients following renal transplantation. The Renal Unit currently supports approximately 600 haemodialysis patients, 50 peritoneal dialysis patients, 900 renal transplant patients and more than 200 patients per year with acute kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy. 150 new renal transplants are performed each year. All renal inpatient services in Glasgow are based in the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital where there are 50 dedicated nephrology beds and 15 renal transplant/surgery beds, along with a day area and renal assessment area. The successful candidates will join a very friendly, motivated team and will participate in the renal on call rota with an appropriate banding supplement.Previous nephrology experience and MRCP is preferable but not essential.

AI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot can be great for planning and preparing your application, but your answers must be your own.

• Show us the real you: Your application should reflect your skills, experience, and motivations authentically.
• Use AI wisely: It’s fine to use AI for ideas or to check spelling and grammar, but don’t let it write your answers.
• Why this matters: Applications that rely on AI-generated content may be withdrawn. By applying, you confirm your responses are based on your own knowledge and achievements.

Tip: Think of AI as a helper, not a substitute. We want to understand you, not an AI tool.
