Lead for Fitness to Practise

Expressions of interest are invited for the office of Lead for Fitness to Practise for undergraduate medical students within the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (SMBMS) of the University of Oxford. This is a new position, and it is expected that the postholder would be able to assume the office in the autumn of 2026.

Expressions of interest in the form of a curriculum vitae with a covering statement detailing the applicant’s suitability should be submitted to Mrs Kirstie Vreede (kirstie.vreede@smbms.ox.ac.uk) by no later than noon on Friday 10 August 2026.
