NHS Fellowship in Clinical AI | NHS Digital Academy Programme
The NHS Fellowship in Clinical AI is a 12-month programme integrated part-time alongside clinical work. Clinical AI fellows are recruited competitively from across the NHS, drawn from a diverse clinical workforce including medical and dental specialty trainees, nurses & midwives, allied health professionals, pharmacy professionals, and optometrists.
Our fellows are smart and energetic individuals who will be equipped to adopt clinical artificial intelligence technology through our focused clinical AI curriculum. Fellows gain experience deploying AI in clinical workflows in 12-month project placements, under expert supervision in multidisciplinary teams.
This unique programme is featured as an exemplar in upskilling clinicians for AI transformation in both the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan (2023) and the NHS Transformation Directorate report, Developing Healthcare Workers' Confidence in AI (2022). The fellowship builds directly from the recommendation of the Topol Review (2019) to create posts for clinicians with dedicated time to implement AI technologies.

Clinicians with expertise in Artificial Intelligence are essential to the rollout of AI software in hospitals. In order to fully realise the UK government's goal of being a global AI superpower, the NHS must provide dedicated training for clinicians in cutting-edge skills required for clinical AI deployment (as recommended in the Topol Review). To date there has been no formal or systematic route to acquire skills in clinical AI deployment.
This fellowship addresses this training need. It is a year-long programme which is integrated part-time alongside the medical training of doctors approaching consultancy. Fellows undertake immersive AI projects in live hospital workflows, supervised by world experts in clinical AI.

Established in 2011, the scheme provides doctors in training with a unique opportunity to spend 12 months in healthcare-affiliated organisations outside of clinical practice to develop their skills in leadership, management, strategy, project management and health policy.
