The
simulation team work across all these areas and

teamwork across the MDT is integral to what we do. We also have a focus on
quality improvement and using simulation to learn from incidents.

Job description
Job responsibilities
An
exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and motivated trainee
paediatrician (ST4 or above) with an interest in service development and
simulation to join Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust as one of two Paediatric
Simulation Fellows for Leeds Childrens Hospital (LCH).
The
Paediatric Simulation Fellows will receive support locally in the Trust from a
mentor/supervisor who has an interest in simulation. The Simulation Fellows
will be encouraged to attend courses relevant to medical teaching and
simulation and to enhance their knowledge and understanding during this post.
They will be expected to organise, run and feedback weekly simulation sessions
in different departments, with the opportunity to work on relevant quality
improvement projects.
Both
posts will have relative flexibility allowing successful candidates to develop
their own interests as well, meaning much of the post is self-directed. There
is an expectation that successful applicants will present their work at various
simulation meetings and national specialty meetings e.g. RCPCH, BAPM. This post
will be non-clinical during daytime working with a full on-call commitment to general
paediatrics (September starter) or neonatology (March starter).
The
role suits trainees who:
Are motivated to change and improve
training at Leeds Childrens Hospital by establishing and expanding the in-situ
simulation
Are comfortable working in uncertain
environments and across traditional boundaries
Relish the opportunity to develop
their own ideas and initiatives
Are committed to and passionate about
improving the NHS.
This post will be non-clinical during
daytime working with a full on-call commitment to general paediatrics or
neonatology (pro rate for LTFT).
Applications
are open to trainee paediatricians:
At ST4 or above in the paediatric
run-through training programme
Working full time or
less-than-full-time
With a national training number
With full GMC registration
Ideally
applicants would also have completed GIC and be an instructor on NLS/APLS or
have evidence of experience in teaching sim.
This
is a fixed-term role for 12 months. The role would be undertaken out of training
and therefore, this post is likely to extend the trainees completion of
training (CCT) date. This should be discussed with the trainees educational
supervisor and training programme director.
