3.          All provisional fellows will gain further clinical experience in a range of subspecialty anaesthesia including trauma, major oncological surgery, cardiothoracics, obstetrics and education.

The case mix includes the following surgical specialties – cardiothoracic, vascular, orthopaedic, obstetrics/ gynaecology, neurosurgery, trauma, gynaecology, plastics, ear/nose/ throat, maxillofacial, urologic, breast/ endocrine, and some paediatric surgery.
