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
Supervision
The Department will provide clinical supervision to oversee work during their clinical duties.
Dr Brid Cagney will supervise this fellowship with input from Drs Andrew Hughes & Dr David Marriott. They will ensure the fellow is provided with adequate education and management opportunities and achieve satisfactory progression through the programme. Post holders will work with the supervisors to set objectives and agree a personal development plan. There is financial and study leave support to allow attendance at educational events outside of Leicester related to medical simulation.
