We are delighted to share that applications are now open for the Chief Sustainability Officer’s (CSO) Clinical Fellow Scheme 2026–27, sponsored by NHS England and managed by the Faculty of Medical Leadership and Management (FMLM). This prestigious 12‑month leadership fellowship offers clinicians with a passion for sustainability the opportunity to work at the centre of national improvement, shaping how the NHS embeds net zero principles into care delivery.
The scheme welcomes applications from a wide range of professions, including allied health professionals, making this an excellent opportunity for BAPO members who are keen to develop as future leaders in sustainable healthcare. Fellows will be seconded from their current roles to work on high‑impact national projects, engage with senior NHS leaders, and build advanced skills in leadership, policy development, project management, research, communication, and system‑level collaboration.
Why apply?
Fellows will:
- Lead key sustainability projects that influence national NHS policy and service transformation.
- Work closely with senior Greener NHS leaders and national partners.
- Develop advanced leadership, strategy, project management, and analytical skills.
- Join a multi‑professional cohort of clinical leaders from across the NHS.
