This is an innovative pilot adopted by the oxford school of anaesthesia to develop Audit, Quality Improvement, Leadership & Management skills to compliment Clinical training. Aim is to provide more democratic and accessible opportunities for developing non-clinical skills to compliment clinical training in the region.
We offer a six month junior fellows program beginning in September focused on developing team work and leadership through an international audit project leading to a collaborative publication in high indexed journal. Trainees and SAS at all levels of training in anaesthesia can join as well core and foundation trainees from anaesthesia and other specialties. This is a supernumerary appointment and can be held alongside any clinical duties. Fellows are generally expected to devote an equivalent of two week of audit activity flexibly during the period of fellowship. There is no upper limit on numbers of fellows that can join this program. Fellows may join from a choice of multiple sites registered within Thames Valley.
We also offer bespoke one year senior fellows program beginning in September for trainees developing an interest in perioperative care or management & clinical improvement. A project is usually agreed after discussion with the trainee regarding areas of CV that need professional development. Current senior fellows include Enhanced recovery fellows at OUH and BHT working on Enhanced recovery day case guidelines and ERAS pathways; multidisciplinary systematic reviews groups; and Management fellows conducting Clinical Improvement projects to improve patient safety. Seven Fellows successfully completed the 2019-20 cohort (see comments below). The 2020-21 cohort currently has 8 fellows (including 3 senior fellows) at OUH and BHT. These are also supernumerary appointments and can be held alongside any other clinical duties or ATM. Fellows are generally expected to devote an equivalent of one month of activity flexibly during the period of fellowship. There is no upper limit of fellows that may join and opportunities are available at OUH and various other hospitals in Thames Valley.
