How to Apply

The Darzi Fellowship is a partnership between a host organisation, the Fellow and the Academic programme. The host organisation offers a Fellowship post through a recruitment process, to work on a local Fellowship Challenge, where there is the potential for real improvements in quality.

The host organisation provides the funding for the Fellow’s salary, as well as for the PGCert Leadership in Health (Darzi). The organisation benefits from the Fellow's learning and new leadership skills applied to an issue that really matters to the organisation/ system, and from the Fellow’s work on the development of an innovation culture.

Application Timeline

The steps to securing a Fellowship are:

1. Agreeing a Fellowship Challenge – the Fellowship supports both cultural change and real-time issue based change in systems. This challenge is agreed with the LSBU team to make sure everyone gets what is expected out of the fellowship. (November 2023 – February 2024)

2. Identifying a Sponsor from within the organisation who will manage the Fellow and provide mentorship in terms of the Fellow’s personal development.

3. Recruiting a Fellow to the Fellowship Post – the host recruits the fellow based on the core criteria for a Darzi Fellow, and the position is offered after academic review of the candidate by LSBU (to ensure the Fellow can work at Masters Level). (April- July 2024)

4. The Fellow completes all the PGCert joining application (June- August 2024)

5. The Fellow commences the Fellowship programme in September 2024.
