Main duties of the job
There are a number of exciting projects including an increasing amount of multi-disciplinary training and simulation training in situ. There will be opportunities and support for new projects, and also be the opportunity to attend Faculty development and Human factors training.
They will be expected to have on average two days a week dedicated to simulation, patient safety, and other medical education projects.
