Critical Care Simulation fellowship
Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
The Oxford Critical Care fellowship programme is open to applications for our advanced simulation and education fellowship. The fellowship aims to simultaneously develop experience and formal qualifications for simulation based critical care teaching with dedicated weekly activity. The remainder of the fellowship is delivered within the Oxford Critical Care at the John Radcliffe Hospital site and the ICU at the Churchill Hospital.
1. Training in technology-enhanced education. Links with the OxSTaR (Oxford Simulation Teaching and Research) Centre will enable candidates to develop technical, pedagogical and facilitation skills in technology-enhanced education, including simulation and virtual reality. As a member of the OxSTaR faculty, you will be supervised and supported to become a confident, independent facilitator for various multi-disciplinary and cross-speciality educational activities.
2. Formal high-level teaching qualification. Successful candidates will be encouraged to complete a formal educational qualification during the fellowship. The exact course is open to dialogue with your supervisor but should reflect the chosen focus of the fellowship year.
3. Delivery of training. The successful candidate will act as an embedded dedicated trainer to aid delivery of various existing critical care projects. A non-exhaustive list of these would be:
a. In situ MDT patient safety simulation training programme
b. Doctor induction simulation
c. Transfer training
d. ALERT course
e. MDT airway training and tracheostomy training
f. OXSTAR-based ICU MDT simulation training
g. Cross-specialty mobile in situ simulation exercises.
4. Management of education. The successful candidate should expect involvement in the management of training programs, including course management, with the aim that after completion, they would have demonstrated some of the necessary skills to progress through the ICM training pathway.
Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trustis one of the largest NHS teaching trusts in the country. It provides a wide range of general and specialist clinical services and is a base for medical education, training and research.

Programme structure and applicant specification
Specific ICM Consultants will monitor educational progress, and successful candidates will be expected to display suitable WPBA to justify progress during the clinical attachment.
Successful candidates will deliver 0.8 WTE clinical activity to the unit, including the Oxford Critical Care resident on-call rota, with the remainder (0.2 WTE) provided for simulation and education training. This is expected to be 1 to 2 days weekly after leave allowances. This time will allow the successful candidate to work with the OxSTaR (www.OxSTaR.ox.ac.uk) team, which will supervise and support the educational components of the post. OxSTaR is the University of Oxford’s purpose-built, state-of-the-art medical simulation teaching and research facility within the Nuffield Division of Anaesthetics at the John Radcliffe Hospital. It provides pioneering training to a wide range of health care and related workers while supporting research into how clinical simulation can enhance existing approaches to training. Technology at OxSTaR can be used to create particularly challenging clinical scenarios or to examine and refine teamwork. Using simulation and other approaches, human factors training is currently an area of rapid growth at OxSTaR. The post holder would be expected to become a contributing member of the OxSTaR team, assisting with developing and running ICMrelated teaching/training.
