AI tools like chatbots and virtual assistants can support you as you complete your application. For example, they can check for spelling or grammar errors, or help you to decide what to include.

But they shouldn’t replace your own responses or be used to write the application for you.

Relying too much on AI can negatively impact your chances of success, because automatically generated answers:

• might not be specific or relevant enough to address the criteria in the recruitment profile
• often seem generic and not personalised enough – an AI response won’t show your unique voice and perspective
• could misrepresent information about you, such as your qualifications, skills and experience

We monitor applications for any behaviour that could create an unfair advantage, and we check all references carefully. You are likely to be tested on your experience at interview, so be honest and make sure all the information in your application is correct.

This post is designed to develop the career of clinicians with an interest in medical education. Applicants will gain a deeper understanding of educational theory, its application to simulation practices to further their teaching capabilities. Fellows will also acquire an understanding of education governance within a large NHS Trust through participation in committees and liaison with education management (including external bodies).

The fellow will support predominantly postgraduate simulation within ITAPS. It is expected that successful completion of this fellowship will provide the applicant with the desirable Medical Education as well as Leadership and Management experience that will aid in future job applications.

Clinical duties will include participation in an oncall rota (either obstetrics, ICU or theatre) on a 1:8 resident basis (maximum shift duration of 12.5hrs).

The majority of normal working days will be dedicated to simulation activities (tailored to the individual).

Education

Post holders may take on a variety of projects whilst in post, but all are expected to contribute to simulation and teaching activities within ITAPS. This may involve liaison with other specialties/professional groups. Projects will be determined by the interests of the fellow and the needs of the department. It is anticipated that work produced from these will be of a standard to present nationally and could include:

• Improving feedback/debrief
• Simulation training
• Developing novel simulation scenarios to address learning needs
• Embedding interprofessional training & learning
• Innovation to address challenges in education delivery (identified from trainer/trainee feedback & other performance indicators)
• Educational research

Our new strategy, 'Leading in healthcare, trusted in communities' was developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners and is our compass for the next seven years (2023‑2030).

We have four primary goals:

• high-quality care for all,
• being a great place to work,
• partnerships for impact, and
• research and education excellence

And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.

Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:

• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team

This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
