Trainee information
This is a simulation based course tailored to around ST2 paediatric doctors preparing for transition to registrar training.
The course uses immersive simulation, communication based simulation and table top exercises to teach. Please come with an open mind and enthusiasm to learn, there is no pre-reading for this course. We also hope this can be a safe place to discuss this big transition in your training with peers and other doctors who have been through this already.
This course will be structured as 3 separate days spread across the year during which time we target different parts of the curriculum.
The course will be held at the Scottish Paediatric Health Education Resource (Sphere), Level 3, Royal Hospital for Children and Young People, Edinburgh.
Prerequisites:
ST2 in Paediatrics or equivalent.
Learning aims:
- To provide specific simulation-based teaching to ST2 trainees focusing on acutely unwell/ deteriorating patient scenarios and common conditions seen in general paediatrics - To provide the opportunity for ST2 trainees to lead simulation scenarios - To provide specific communication teaching for ST2 trainees focusing on common scenarios which present to general paediatrics - To provide the opportunity for ST2 trainees to lead on communication scenarios - To help prepare for the transition to working at the level of a registrar in general paediatrics (ST3)
Learning outcomes:
- To feel supported and prepared for the transition to registrar training.

A one day face to face course was designed and implemented as per RCPCH recommendations by a faculty of dedicated paediatric clinicians and medical educators, to support paediatric doctors in their return to clinical practice.
This course offers tutorials focussing on recent updates to clinical practice, managing well being when returning to work and practical aspects of the transition.
Simulation scenarios in both neonatal and general paediatric areas are offered and debriefed by experienced simulation faculty.
Peer support is developed through small group work, and by attendance at the session.
Attendees will leave the course with additional resources to utilise as they prepare.
The course will be held at Scottish Paediatric Health Education Resource (SPHERE), RHCYP, Edinburgh.
Prerequisites:
Open to any doctor in paediatrics from Scotland Deanery who has been out of regular clinical work, for any reason, and due to return/has recently returned.
Learning outcomes:
- Network with colleagues who are also returning to work, to share experiences and insights. - Provide an opportunity for a relaxed and informal educational session to support return to work. - Understand common challenges in returning to work, and offer resources and suggestions on how to mitigate these. - Understand the rights and responsibilities of a returning clinician. - Revise common presentations, management and assessment techniques of looking after unwell children, and update knowledge on changes to algorithms/management.

Obstetric and neonatal teams frequently work together in a coordinated fashion to facilitate the safe delivery of a neonate. However, inputs are often sequential where synchronous input is often of greater benefit. Combined training between obstetric and neonatal staff is rare, and lack of familiarity with others' roles can hinder effective communication and impact on patient care.
This is a one-day course aligned to curriculum outcomes for paediatric and obstetric trainees (ST3+). The course offers the opportunity to collaborate and learn from each other through structured, combined communication skills and simulation and small group discussions.
Prerequisites:
ST3+ in Paediatrics or Obstetrics & Gynaecology training programmes in Scotland Deanery.
Learning outcomes:
Improved shared understanding of the relative priorities of the obstetric and neonatal teams regarding delivery planning.
