My team and I are delivering a pilot of 'SIMply the best: A Simulation-Based Education Workshop: optimisation and stabilisation of preterm infants on Dec 11th working in partnership with Buckinghamshire New University and Back to Life."
Eileen Dudley, Senior Programme Manager Patient Safety & MatNeo SIP Lead, Multiprofessional Simulation Fellow
"The MP Fellowship Programme has given me great opportunity to gain new knowledge about simulation in clinical practice and technology enhanced learning. It has also provided me with resources to work on the exciting fellowship project to design a digital learning hub for our cancer pharmacy team and contribute to improvements in the specialised area of cancer services. It has been rewarding journey as well with opportunities to participate in SIM-TEL conferences when I also received positive and encouraging feedback about posters presenting my project."
Natalia Czub, Advanced Haematology Pharmacist, Multiprofessional Simulation Fellow
"This was an amazing experience, which allowed protected time for project and quality improvement work, gave me a real insight into the wider issues affecting our work, the opportunity to understand more about the MPT, working and their projects. Allowed me to explore and understand my own work and leadership style. The fellowship has given me a whole new insight and perspective on my role, work and aspirations for the future."
