Crynodeb
The Bristol Paediatric Simulation Programme (BPSP) and the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children (BRHC) Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) are seeking a Clinical Fellow in Paediatric Simulation and Paediatric Intensive Care from September 2026.
This post is split 50:50 between simulation-based training, teaching and research and clinical duties in PICU and there may be the opportunity to work within the WATCh transport service. The BPSP is a vibrant programme offering simulation courses in the UHBW Simulation Centre (BMSC) and a point of care programme at BRHC and Weston Hospital.
The Fellow will be part of a team in the Simulation Centre and the primary learning and development focus of the fellowship is on paediatric simulation education.
The PICU is a 18 bedded unit providing full intensive care services to the Southwest of England and cardiac surgical services to the Southwest and South Wales. BRHC is a designated paediatric trauma and burns centre and all specialties other than transplantation operate on site. The post would involve clinical duties on PICU and with the regional transport service WATCh.
Applicants must have completed a minimum of two years of training in their base specialty (ST3 equivalent) and may come from a Paediatric, Anaesthetic, Intensive Care or Emergency Medicine background.
This post is also suitable for more senior doctors who wish to gain intensive care or transport experience.
The Bristol Paediatric Simulation Programme is one of the executive arms of UHBW Simulation Services.
The BMSC was the first training facility of its kind in the UK. It is based in the UHBW Education Centre, directly opposite the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children. It was established as a joint venture between the United Bristol Healthcare NHS Trust and the University of Bristol and was initially funded by the Charitable Trustees for the United Bristol Hospitals, but is now wholly affiliated to University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust. It remains unique as one of the most successful clinical simulations centre in the world.
The BPSP is committed to enhance patient safety and quality of health care delivery through the integration of multi-disciplinary simulation based education through application of simulation based education in its four strategic pillars; Education, Quality Improvement, Clinical Governance and Research.
A carefully created bidirectional relationship between the BPSP and BRHC Clinical Governance pillars (Audit, Clinical Effectiveness Committee, Risk, Patient Safety and Patient Liaison Service) quality assures the SBE delivered by both informing and critically evaluating the educational impact of the BPSP educational content. Thus providing an integral vehicle for the BRHC’s strive for excellence in clinical practice and improved patient outcomes.
University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW) is one of the largest acute Trusts in the country, bringing together a combined workforce of over 13,000 staff and over 100 different clinical services across 10 different sites, serving a core population of more than 500,000 people across South West England. UHBW has been rated by the CQC as ‘Good’ overall and our staff are proud to deliver excellent care to the people of Bristol, Weston and beyond. As a forward- thinking multi-award winning Trust and a digital exemplar committed to improving patient care, our world-leading research and innovations are having a positive local and global impact. Our hospitals are spread across Bristol and Weston, join us and you can enjoy the very best of both worlds; city living within a stone’s throw of the countryside or beside the seaside, both with easy access to all that the South West has to offer. UHBW is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. As an equal opportunities employer actively working towards a diverse workforce we aim to recruit and retain a workforce which represents the rich diversity of the local population at all levels and are committed to designing our services around the needs of individual patients and those around them. Anonymous information will be used from your application in order to ensure we’re meeting our pledge.
Our aim is to deliver multidisciplinary simulation based education and training amongst all subspecialties within the University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust focussed on the unique nature and needs of caring for paediatric and peri-natal patients and their families.
The BPSP continues to support and develop the use of simulation as a tool in the education of all healthcare professionals, with a particular focus on team training and multi-disciplinary working as well as systems testing.
Through establishing simulation expertise within specialties/ departments in BRHC the programme has focused on branching out to develop tailored uni-professional and inter-professional SBE from its base in the Bristol Medical Simulation Centre. In addition the delivery of simulation events within clinical areas (on the wards, in the emergency department and in the operating theatre environment) creates realistic opportunities to practice and develop a wide range of skills such as clinical assessment skills, organizational and time management skills, team working and leadership abilities at the bedside.
A strong focus on quality assurance and faculty development underscores the BPSP’s strive to reliably deliver high quality SBE. We are committed to growing a multiprofessional faculty base whilst ensuring continued educational development. This is achieved through identifying developmental needs and
opportunities tailored to the individual. An apprenticeship model approach is combined with 2 highly acclaimed instructor courses; Train the Trainers Course (Novice Instructors Course) and the Advanced Debriefing Course run internally by UHBW.
