Caution: Open to PGY3? Then it's a service/unaccredited job, not accredited AT — still gold-standard CV evidence, just don't label it training. Accredited AT needs the parent fellowship or BPT + both exams first.
Scored nightly by the guide's rules for each specialty (fixed rules, no AI); a caution is a thing to get in writing before you accept, not a reason to skip the ad.

About the Role
The Palliative Care Fellow will work as part of a multidisciplinary team to provide safe and effective person-centred care, provide teaching and supervision of junior medical staff and students.
