Application process

All candidates must have completed CCT, or international equivalent, and have at least 1 year of post CCT Oculoplastic fellowship experience. Candidates will be expected to be highly proficient at basic oculoplastic surgery and be able to demonstrate independent practice in ptosis, entropion, ectropion and simple eyelid reconstruction. The candidate will also be expected to have outstanding communication skills and be committed to very high standards of patient care. International applicants are welcome and are encouraged to have UK experience prior to joining, although this is not essential.

This is a unique aesthetics fellowship in the heart of the Harley Street area based at the Ezra Clinic. The practice is a tertiary, high volume international aesthetic surgery centre focussing on blepharoplasty, brow-lift surgery and non-surgical periocular rejuvenation. A high proportion of surgical patients are revision procedures. There are also very high volumes of periocular filler treatments, and a highly specialised filler complication clinic which is usually run by the Fellow. The Clinic also specialises in non-surgical laser therapies. Whilst the majority of the work is aesthetic, there will also be some exposure to orbits, general oculoplastic and lacrimal cases.

In addition to assisting the consultant team, the successful candidate will run their own clinics and lists, supervised by the Consultant team who will work in parallel with the Fellow. There will also be opportunity for interface specialty exposure to Craniofacial surgery, plastic surgery, dermatology, hair transplantation and Moh’s surgery.
Fellows are expected to participate in research and to present at departmental, national and international meetings.

Applications are received on a rolling basis, but vacancies are generally only available 6-12 months in advance. Expressions of interest in either fellowships or observerships can be made by email to enquiries@danielezra.co.uk.

% of oculoplastic work Timetable: Flexible. Can be full-time or part-time. The timetable will be tailored to meet the candidate’s specific needs. Oculoplastic Aesthetic clinics/week: 4 Oculoplastic lists/week: up to 5 Non-oculoplastic sessions: up to 3
Duration of fellowship 6-12 Months
