The successful applicant will work closely with the Simulation team at St. Richard's Hospital, under the supervision of Dr Honor Hinxman, Consultant Anaesthetist and Anaesthetic lead for Simulation, and further input from Dr Alexander Hall, Consultant Anaesthetist and Trust lead for Simulation.
The fellow will be responsible, together with the clinical skills team, for the provision of regular simulation sessions for medical students. They will also have the opportunity to be involved in simulation training for a number of different specialties, including the Anaesthetic department, and on a number of locally run courses, eg PROMPT, CCRISP.
