Education Academy Fellow; eqv to STin Simulation

Key Responsibilities

The Education Academy within Barts Health is expanding in response to the need with increasing numbers of students and trainees and commitment to offer the best educational experience for our trainees. There is a real need to ensure that students receive excellent tuition and that trainees have the best possible educational supervision. In line with our Education Strategy, we intend to improve education by building an Education Fellow faculty base made up of Specialty Teaching Fellows who contribute to both undergraduate and postgraduate training, and support Inter-professional Innovations.

Enthusiasm for teaching is a prerequisite, but no prior formal knowledge of educational theory or practice is required. Educational responsibilities will include bedside teaching of undergraduate students and postgraduate trainees. This will include problem-based facilitation and coordination of student teaching programmes.

As an education & simulation facilitator the fellow will play a significant role in delivering the generic professional and clinical skills training for Undergraduate, Foundation Programme, Core Programmes and Speciality trainees doctors within this speciality. S/he will also be actively engaged in simulation course planning, delivery, educational management and educational governance. Part-task & high fidelity simulation training is delivered to undergraduate (medical) students, Foundation Programme doctors, Internal Medical Trainees & Specialist Trainees.

Multi-professional, in-situ training will form the core of the educational activity. Faculty development ("Introduction to Debriefing and Simulation Skills") simulation courses are also established.

Barts Health is one of the largest NHS trusts in the country, and one of Britain's leading healthcare providers. The Barts Health group of NHS hospitals is entering an exciting new era on our improvement journey to becoming an outstanding organisation with a world-class clinical reputation. Having lifted ourselves out of special measures, we now have the impetus and breathing space to chart a fresh course in which we are continually striving to improve all our services for patients.

Our vision is to be a high-performing group of NHS hospitals, renowned for excellence and innovation, and providing safe and compassionate care to our patients in east London and beyond. That means being a provider of excellent patient safety, known for delivering consistently high standards of harm-free care and always caring for patients in the right place at the right time.

It also means being an outstanding place to work, in which our WeCare values and behaviours are visible to all and guide us in how we work together.

We strive to live by our WeCare values and are committed to promoting inclusion, where every staff member has a sense of belonging. We value our differences and fully advocate, cultivate and support an inclusive working environment.
