Trainees gained direct experience and understanding of high-level decision making in the NHS, tackling complex service delivery problems and the practical realities of delivering change within a constrained budget. One impact of this pilot has been completion of a business case to scale up the fellowship into an established programme that can allow other trainees to apply.CONCLUSION:
