About us
The trust is committed to ongoing training and support of consultants. There is a structured two year programme of induction and leadership development. Every consultant appointed is offered a choice of mentors and expected to meet with them on a regular basis.
The Trust has an excellent reputation for education, as measured by its GMC Survey and regular responses from trainees and medical students. It has a medical library with an active Library & Knowledge Services team, a resuscitation and clinical skills department offering external nationally accredited courses and an established simulation centre - all of which are fully equipped for Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) in a virtual environment.
There is an expectation that all consultants will participate in trainee education and training, both on the shop floor and through running tutorials, viva practice, etc. This is an important aspect of the role. The Trust accommodates medical students from Oxford and Southampton Universities, attracts high calibre trainees and has a good exam success record.
The department has an active and well-received educational programme - all grades of clinicians have a whole day training programme monthly and the consultants are involved in delivering and supervising this teaching.
