Simulation Ftpd

We have a thriving and innovative foundation school in the East of England. This school has adapted to technology enhanced learning, been innovative in the types of learning opportunities provided, and has successfully embedded multi-professional teaching.

We are committed to excellence in support of these trainees at the start of their career and see simulation training as a key part of this early career education. We would expect the post holder to drive up standards in medical simulation and would encourage a dynamic and innovative approach to best utilise our SIM resources throughout the region.

The main remit of the job is to lead on simulation and procedural training for the Foundation school. This includes:
1. Liaising with FTPDs and simulation leads in individual trusts to ensure simulation training is being delivered to all Foundation trainees in the region.
2. Ensuring capacity of these courses is adequate, that they fulfil Foundation curricular requirements and that targeted interventions can be provided for trainees with particular learning needs.
3. Assessing the quality of these courses.
4. Working with trusts and our VR SIM provider to develop our VR SIM capability
