Post-Graduate Medical Education Simulation Fellow

Go back Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

The closing date is 22 September 2026

This is an exciting and unique opportunity for a colleague with an interest in Medical Education to develop as a Clinical Educator. This post offers the opportunity to be involved in the exciting field of Simulation, working with all Medical Colleagues in all Specialties, Physician Associates, and our Medical Students from the Three Counties Medical School (TCMS.)

The Simulation Fellow, working in collaboration and under the leadership and guidance of the Simulation Tutors/DME and in collaboration with other Simulation Enthusiasts, will support all Resident Doctors/Staff and Associate Specialists/Locally Employed Doctors/Physician Associates and TCMS Medical Students with the delivery of Simulation-based education, along with supporting NHS England (NHSE) curriculum, Regional and Local Teaching held at GHNHSFT.

Our PGME Strategy is to embed Medical Simulation Training through both in-situ and centre-based Simulation Learning, thus contributing to and improving Patient Care.

This role is to support the Education and Simulation training for all Resident Doctors / Staff and Associate Specialists / Locally Employed Doctors / Physicians Associates / Three Counties Medical School. The postholder will be actively engaged in Simulation Course Planning, Delivery, Educational Management, and Educational Governance, supporting the Simulation Tutors and all those Medical Colleagues delivering Simulation.

The Post-Holder is not expected to be an expert in Simulation activities - no prior formal knowledge of educational theory or practice is required, enthusiasm for teaching is though a prerequisite.

To help prepare applications for educational grants to enhance simulation capabilities in the trust, under the supervision of simulation tutors, specialty consultants and the PGME team

Following a training period, the PGME Simulation Fellow will be offered the opportunity to gain an educational qualification to the level of Certificate or above.
