Commencing Aug 2019. Work towards an educational qualification, develop your teaching skills including high fidelity simulation and beef up your CV
Hi Everyone,
Myself and a Jen (Anaesthetic/ICM trainees currently at King’s) are hoping to set up a teaching programme aimed at Primary FRCA revision. We plan to target those topics which people tend to find most difficult; be it the physics behind MRI, infusion kinetics, or ABG analyser electrodes to name but a few.
We have designed a survey to help find out which topics are found difficult by trainees.
It'll take 2-3 mins to complete the survey. We will close it at the end of Feb.
Thank
North West London Maternity Human Factors Training Collaborative
Fellowship in Ophthalmic Anaesthesia, with good experience of TIVA and Paediatrics.
Dedicated time for research or Quality Improvement Projects.
This is a great opportunity for ACCS trainees to receive training and career guidance specific to them.
Post FRCA Teaching – Paediatric Anaesthesia
This 2-day course, led by Professor Mervyn Singer, Professor of Intensive Care, UCL is designed for trainee or junior grade doctors working in any field of medicine where a medical emergency may be encountered.
2-day course designed as an update for Consultants and senior grade doctors working in any field of medicine where a medical emergency may be encountered. Informative, animated and interactive sessions with questions and comments encouraged throughout.
Monthly multidisciplinary education meeting in airway management
A full immersion simulated OSCE scenarios day with individualised feedback by a Faculty which will include previous FRCA examiners, ideal for anyone planning to sit the Primary exam in the coming year.

What is it?
This course has been designed by Registrars and Consultants to complement the hugely successful Viva Course.
The OSCE is an area of the exam that candidates can find difficult to prepare for. It requires extra revision time and this course is designed for those who have prepared for the exam and would like specific teaching sessions, exposure to simulation and experience of a full OSCE examination.
What does the course entail?
- Introductory lecture from a current College examiner with insight on the examination; how to prepare, expectations, format and mark scheme.
- A strategy to approach each of the various station types in the exam.
- Dedicated morning simulation session on critical incidents/resuscitation scenarios; one scenario for each candidate with exposure to a further 8.
- Rapid revision session on key physics and equipment topics commonly encountered in the OSCE.
- Communication skills workshop and tips for the OSCE communication skills stations.
- Complete 18 station mock OSCE under examination conditions. The stations include:
- Examined by registrars with recent experience of the OSCE and can therefore accurately direct you to ‘hot topics’ and common pitfalls
- Individual feedback
- Individual marks to gauge your further revision
- Attendance Certificate
When?
The week prior to the Primary OSCE exam week.
Who can do it?
This course is aimed at candidates about to sit the forthcoming OSCE exam. Please note that places are limited; therefore we request that you only attend this course if you are fully prepared.
Taught by?
Large team of registrars who have recently been completed the exam. They can accurately direct you to ‘hot topics’ and common pitfalls to help tailor your final revision efforts.

Candidate Feedback from previous courses
• Excellent course – wish it could be longer
• Communication and physics sessions were amazing
• Simulation session was brilliant - good to experience it before the exam
• Useful to go through the common simulation scenarios
• Afternoon exam was realistic and amazing preparation
