GIRFT clinical fellowship - Expression of interest for 2027/28

Overview

The Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) Clinical Fellowship Programme offers NHS organisations the opportunity to host a clinical fellow to deliver a project aligned with GIRFT's aims of improving patient care through evidence, quality improvement and service transformation.

This Expression of Interest (EOI) invites NHS organisations to propose projects for the 2027–28 fellowship cohort. Submitted proposals will be reviewed against the programme criteria and strategic priorities to inform project selection.

Why your views matter

Submit an EOI if you would like to host a GIRFT Clinical Fellow during the 2027–28 fellowship programme.

Successful projects will provide fellows with meaningful opportunities to contribute to clinically led improvement, research and service transformation while addressing priorities that are important to your organisation and the wider NHS.
