Educational Courses available in each hospital
Each of the Trusts within the School of Anaesthesia delivers a variety of courses, some for their local trainees, some for the wider trainee body. This page lists each of the hospitals, the courses they run, and who to contact (where applicable).
Airedale – Info obtained from Dr Josie Stewart, College Tutor
We run a fortnightly, in term time, afternoon teaching session for our trainees covering Primary curriculum and broader topics of interest to those post Primary and our EM ACCS trainees. In the past few months this has included a visit to a Vaporiser factory and to a Vets, along with the more usual Physiology and Pharmacology topics.
For novices we have a daily tutorial programme for the first three weeks of their training.
In Airedale itself we hold a Paediatric emergency course called APES three times per year which all trainees attend. ALS is also held here. Due to the smaller numbers of trainees we join the novice critical incident course with Bradford which I help teach on.
We have our own Clinical Skills centre where we hold some Simulation sessions as part of our teaching
Bradford – College tutors Dr Tom Scarrott and Dr Andy Baker
BRI is a busy big DGH/(small teaching hospital if you like) with a large amount of interesting pathology which is one of its major draws for training. Unfortunately, the commute & parking are shocking!
1) In house teaching: Good clinical in theatre teaching. Weekly (most weeks except Primary viva course weeks & school holidays) one hour, consultant-delievered usually clinical topics incl how to appraise a paper, EBM, Periop Medicine,QI. Also TIVA afternoon & CPX morning each twice/yr
2) BTHFT courses – Novice Critical Incident course (2 in Oct, one April), Transfer (3x/yr), Obs Critical Incidents (2/yr). The Trust run ‘Human Factors’ half day courses & Sim faculty development courses. Also CVC course 3x/yr. We run an AFOI course 2x/yr (COVID permitting) All bookings are taken via Facilities.Administration@bthft.nhs.uk
3) On site high-fidelity sim centre with sim courses as above. Occasional ad hoc in-situ sim (theatres, ICU, ED, obs). We run an annual Primary OSCE/SOE day in October & other than that provide in house SOE practice informally only.
3) For trainees returning to work after a period of absence we run GASagain 1-2 times/year (book via RCoA events) and ReACT (Return to Acute Care Training).
4) MDT courses: PROMPT monthly – all trainees attend, CRUMPET 4x/yr, PSTAC annually. One of our STs helps with trache training for the ENT juniors & Jill organises an ENT MDT sim training day in April
Many of the courses take place in our local Sim centre.
We run a weekly tutorial in-house for all the trainees. We get a senior trainee to organise this, and a consultant delivers a topic of their choice.
Along, or as part of the departmental tutorials, we have an all morning or all afternoon teaching session on TIVA once a year, and an all morning session on CPX testing once a year.

Additional info obtained from Dr Heinz Schulenburg, CT
1. In-house teaching is delivered on Wednesday mornings. Aug to Dec it is mainly aimed at Novice teaching and once the IAC is done we concentrate more on Primary FRCA teaching. This is delivered by the trainees themselves but chaired by consultants/SpRs for quality assurance. All CTs are excused from clinical duties to attend. ICU also does Wednesday morning teaching sessions for trainees on their ICU blocks. We also do a Weekly difficult case discussion lunchtime session for the whole dept, difficult cases are presented and trainees are encouraged to point out the issues and make an anaesthetic plan.
2. MYRAG is a 3 times a year US regional course run by my colleagues – on a Saturday but involves a small fee that includes a Curry night out afterwards. Normally in January we run a OSCE/VIVA course. Prior to ST interviews we run a mock interview day where trainees get up to 3 goes at each station with obviously some constructive feedback. We also run a simulation OBS emergency course once a year. On top of this 2 of our CEPOD afternoons are dedicated simulation training, one with OBS and one for general emergencies. High fidelity done in theatre with the theatre staff and Midwifes.
3. Our Simulation centre has 2 high fidelity simulation suites and we use these for IAC, CEPOD sessions as above.
