Senior Critical Care Fellow - Simulation & Education Fellowship

NHS Medical & Dental: Senior Clinical Fellow

The Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust is one of the largest NHS teaching trusts in the country. It provides a wide range of general and specialist clinical services and is a base for medical education, training and research.

The Trust comprises of four hospitals - the John Radcliffe Hospital, Churchill Hospital and Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Headington and the Horton Hospital in Banbury.

Our values, standards and behaviours define the quality of clinical care we offer and the professional relationships we make with our patients, colleagues and the wider community. We call this Delivering Compassionate Excellence and its focus is on our values of compassion, respect, learning, delivery, improvement and excellence. These values put patients at the heart of what we do and underpin the quality healthcare we would like for ourselves or a member of our family. Watch how we set out to deliver compassionate excellence via the OUH YouTube channel.

Many of our recruitment programmes use values-based interviewing to identify those who have the skills we seek, who share our values and who are able to deliver compassionate excellence from the outset. We know that this makes a significance difference to your job satisfaction and above all the outcomes and experience of our patients and their families.

Main duties of the job

Post will allow the development of the following areas:
Training in technology-enhanced education. Links with the OxSTaR 
 Centre will enable candidates to develop technical, pedagogical and facilitation skills in technology-enhanced education, including simulation and virtual reality. As a member of the OxSTaR faculty, you will be supervised and supported to become a confident, independent facilitator for various multi-disciplinary and cross-speciality educational activities.

2  Formal high-level teaching qualification. Successful candidates will 
be encouraged to complete a formal educational qualification during 
the fellowship. The exact course is open to dialogue with your 
supervisor but should reflect the chosen focus of the fellowship year.

Delivery of training. The successful candidate will act as an 
embedded dedicated trainer to aid delivery of various existing critical 
care projects. A non-exhaustive list of these would be
a In situ MDT patient safety simulation training programme
b Doctor induction simulation
c Transfer training
d ALERT course
e MDT airway training & tracheostomy training
f OXSTAR-based ICU MDT simulation training
g. Cross-specialty mobile in situ simulation exercises

Management of education. Successful candidate should expect

Detailed job description and main responsibilities

Successful candidates will deliver 0.6 WTE clinical activity to the unit, with the remainder (0.4 WTE) provided for simulation and education training. This is expected to be 1 to 2 days weekly after leave allowances. This time will allow the successful candidate to work with the OxSTaR (www.OxSTaR.ox.ac.uk) team, which will supervise and support the educational components of the post.

OxSTaR is the University of Oxford’s purpose-built, state-of-the-art medical simulation teaching and research facility within the Nuffield Division of Anaesthetics at the John Radcliffe Hospital. It provides pioneering training to a wide range of health care and related workers while supporting research into how clinical simulation can enhance existing approaches to training. Technology at OxSTaR can be used to create particularly challenging clinical scenarios or to examine and refine teamwork. Using simulation and other approaches, human factors training is currently an area of rapid growth at OxSTaR. The post holder would be expected to become a contributing member of the OxSTaR team, assisting with developing and running ICMrelated teaching/training.
