Teaching Fellow in Human Factors (MBChB)
Join the NHS Tayside as a Teaching Fellow in Human Factors (MBChB)
NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.
Human Factors is a key part of teaching within the MBChB programme, recognised by the GMC as a core topic. It allows clinicians to take a systems-based approach to patient safety and healthcare improvement. We propose radically redesigning this part of the curriculum, moving much of the teaching into the later years where it can be taught using small groups and simulation, as well as situated within clinical placements.
This post is full-time, funded by NHS ACT, with a fixed term of one year. The aim of this post is to provide a trainee, with an interest in education, the opportunity to develop as a medical educator.
Your Priorities Will Include
* Assisting with review of current human factors content and design of new curriculum
* Collaborating with Human Factors Scientist to add clinical context and content where needed
* Designing, developing, and piloting new teaching sessions (some of which may be simulation-focused)
* Reviewing current methods of assessment for human factors and designing new assessments for this content
* Developing a plan for evaluation of any new teaching and disseminating these findings potentially at national meetings
* Participating in the preparation and organisation of the undergraduate core teaching and assessment programme
* Delivering face-to-face teaching including lectures, small group tutorials, and clinical teaching in different healthcare contexts
Who We’re Looking For
* Specialty Registrar (ST3+) with a national training number in any medical specialty
