"The Developing Trainers Educational Fellowship attracted me as I have always been interested in medical education. Throughout the year, I have been able to develop my teaching skills and learn more about myself as the teacher. The personalised MBTI feedback was invaluable in gaining insights into how we all work alone and with each other as a team. This helped me manage my team better and work cohesively. The opportunity to be part of the Spring Conference and design new learning and teaching materials was invaluable." Dr Anuranjani Sardesai, Developing Trainers Educational Fellowship
"This has been a really incredible year. I have learnt a lot about digital health and its applications in medical education. I’m also very grateful for the Blend coaching programme. I hope to take the knowledge and skills I’ve learnt onwards into my future entrepreneurial endeavours" Dr Samantha Chioma Eyiuche Ike,Digital Health & Entrepreneurship Fellowship
"I undertook the Enhance fellowship for 12 months in 2023/4. This involved working with a large team on a national project but focussing on a local group of foundation doctors. We planned and delivered a mix of training days and online learning as well as then undertaking projects to study the effects of this new educational offering. I was able to undertake a PGCert alongside this work. I am really pleased that I undertook the fellowship and particularly that I did it towards the end of my training. It opened my eyes to the structure of educational systems and allowed me to learn an array of new skills in leadership, technology and education. I led teams, I delivered training, and was plugged into networks of national care which opened my eyes to parts of the health system that I had never encountered. The fellowship definitely made me a more rounded clinician and I learned a lot. I would wholeheartedly recommend it to people." Dr Joseph Wilson, Enhance Educational Fellowship
"I enjoyed being part of the team and have developed an understanding of how difficult it can be to initiate a project and establish multi-disciplinary team relationship. I gained a deeper understanding of the work the Culture teams do, the role of Speak up champions, and how they too were struggling with issues around engagement, particularly among permanent staff members. I still feel that resident doctors need to have more support locally and it would be good to continue the above project by advertising for new RD volunteers in place of those who have moved on. I embarked on the M.Sc. in Medical education with ARU. I would recommend this Fellowship to my colleagues as it helped me with develop leadership and management skills. It has also helped me work on my organisational skills. One is exposed to the Deanery central team and can understand what happens beyond the levels of one's hospital or Trust. I hope to use the skills and experience that I have gained in such a short time span in my future roles.” Dr Sinatra Ferrao, Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity Fellowship
"The fellowship has been a fantastic opportunity to learn new skills and work in a completely different way. I have definitely built on my leadership and management skills and experience." Dr Shahnal Shah, Professional Support, Wellbeing and SuppoRTT Fellowship
"After completing the NHSE EoE Education Fellowship, I made the choice to pursue the NHSE EoE Simulation Fellowship to further cultivate my passion, knowledge, and expertise within medical education. During this fellowship, I led a regional project evaluating simulation resources across East of England, which was accepted for presentation at the national ASPiH (Association for Simulated Practice in Healthcare) conference. I also gained valuable skills and knowledge by attending debriefing courses and joining the National Simulation Faculty. Additionally, I honed my IT skills by creating a simulation-based platform on Bridge. This fellowship ultimately allowed me to expand my practical skills and confidence in leading simulations locally and regionally. Furthermore, I was grateful for the opportunity to be supported to complete a PGDiploma in Medical Education." Dr Vanessa Sinthuraj, Simulation and Technology Enhanced Learning Fellowship
"This EDI fellowship is a fantastic opportunity to contribute towards social impact with the EoE. With a supportive team that was hands-on, we successfully completed the first cohort of reciprocal mentoring in EoE. I would encourage anyone interested in EDI to undertake this fellowship." KHAYATHIRI SUNDARALINGAM, EDI Fellowship
