Chief Sustainability Officer’s Clinical Fellow Scheme

Register your interest to become an NHS England clinical fellow, a unique opportunity to develop their leadership skills and support the NHS to realise its net zero ambitions.

Sponsored by NHS England's Chief Sustainability Officer and managed by FMLM, the CSO scheme has been established to identify and support clinicians who want to develop as clinical leaders and sustainability champions of the future. It offers clinicians with a passion for sustainability a unique opportunity to develop their leadership skills and support the NHS to realise its net zero ambitions.

 

Clinical fellows will work closely with senior leaders and will have the opportunity to meet regularly with senior members of the Greener NHS team, wider NHS system partners and stakeholders. 

Clinical fellows will lead on key projects that will fundamentally change the way that care is designed, developed and delivered across the system. Clinical fellows will gain an unparalleled understanding of sustainability principles as well as an essential range of leadership and management, policy development, project management, research and analysis, communications and collaboration skills.

Leadership development is supported through a comprehensive educational programme to enhance clinical fellows' leadership capabilities.
