Job summary
This is a full time post funded by the Education Directorate at Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust. It is an excellent opportunity for doctors with an interest in simulation, education and leadership to have dedicated time to develop these skills, whilst also maintaining clinical duties. The ratio of clinical to non-clinical work is 40:60.
Main duties of the job
Non-clinical time will be spent supporting the Simulation Programme within Medical Education. You will be part of the Simulation Team and involved in all aspects of Simulation for all grades of our multi-professional colleagues.
