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.
