Job responsibilities
The successful applicant will have the opportunity to lead on medicine based simulation and help develop our SIM programme, with opportunity for leadership and development of new projects.
The Ambulatory Emergency Care Unit works as part of the Emergency Floor as an assessment and treatment area.

Patients are seen from the Emergency Department; GPs referring into Speciality teams and other clinical areas of the Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust.
