Job summary
The primary role of this Simulation Fellow is to Co-lead delivery of our range of clinical simulation teaching within the Simulation suite of Robert Kilpatrick Clinical Sciences Building on our Leicester Royal Infirmary site. This large, high specification, simulation suite provides a very high quality environment to deliver a full range of high fidelity through to low fidelity simulation events for our undergraduate medical course. This exciting role is aimed at a FY2 or equivalent training grade doctor looking to extend their skills in medical education, who already has developed an interest in simulation. This role would allow the successful appointee to gain further educational and leadership skills.
