Learn, Earn, Return and Excel

 

Apollo Education UK (AEUK) is launching the Apollo International Clinical Fellowship Programme (ICFP), 2022 as a part of its Global Workforce Development (GWD) initiative. Over the course of this three-year ICFP programme, doctors (MS/MD/DnB) can ‘earn as they learn’, receiving mentorship from senior doctors at Apollo Hospitals, India, in a preparatory year to aid transition into NHS clinical practice before being placed in a UK hospital for the next two or more years, where they can complete their clinical learning. At the same time as gaining this international work experience in an area of specialty, Doctors will study for a Master of Surgery or Master of Medicine degree at Edge Hill University.  

The Apollo ICFP is carefully structured to ensure that doctors get mentorship, world-class specialist clinical exposure and hands-on experience in providing the highest standards of healthcare. The programme is a collaboration between AEUK, Global Training and Education Centre (GTEC) at Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and Edge Hill University, UK.

The Apollo ICFP is the latest initiative under the “Apollo Knowledge” umbrella which is the Apollo Group’s skilling, training, education, and resourcing arm. This is part of AEUK’s Global Workforce Development (GWD) initiative, an education, skilling and placement programme for healthcare professionals, helping them broaden their horizons and receive training and work experience across geographies.

Mr. Sivaramakrishnan Venkateswaran, CEO, Apollo Knowledge said, “This is part of our Global Workforce Development (GWD) initiative to enable and provide education, training and recruitment job opportunities across geographies for healthcare professionals so that they get trained and upskilled and add value to themselves and their own healthcare systems”.

Professor Raj Murali MBE, FRCS (Eng), FRCS Ed, FRCS (Tr & Orth), Clinical Director, Global Training and Education Centre said, said, “I am looking forward, greatly, to welcoming the newest cohort of Doctors to the ICFP programme, particularly so across our specialties at WWL. The NHS is a wonderful institution in which to gain invaluable work experience from world-class mentors, and the doctors on the course will certainly benefit from their time with us.”

Professor Clare Austin, Pro Vice Chancellor, Dean of the Faculty of Health, Social Care and Medicine, Edge Hill University said, “This is an important opportunity for the Master of Surgery and Master of Medicine programmes to support the recruitment and training of international doctors as part of our long-standing a learn, earn, return and excel scheme.”
