· Facilitate simulation-based teaching.
· Get involved in assessment activities – acting as a clinical tutor/examiner in formative OSCEs and helping to examine in summative examinations, for which training will be provided.
· Gain some experience of standard setting for examinations and writing examination questions/cases.
While much of the learning will be experiential, it will be supported by a Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Education or Leadership. Time and resources (up to a set value) will be provided to facilitate this.

Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).
We have four primary goals:
• high-quality care for all,
• being a great place to work,
• partnerships for impact, and
• research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
