ST4-ST6 (HST) Regional Training Days 2019-2020

Venue: Mercure Hotel, Norwich

The Royal College of Emergency Medicine, Health Education England and NHS Improvement are excited to announce a one-day leadership development workshop for all emergency medicine trainees in the East of England.

Leadership is both about improving the quality of care to patients and making work more interesting and fulfilling for all of us. This dynamic and interactive workshop is designed as a foundation point to start learning about leadership: what it is and how we can all become better leaders whatever our clinical role in Emergency Medicine.

The workshop is rooted in the practicalities of leading in ED, both the challenges that we face and real things that can be done. This day provides a unique opportunity for emergency medicine trainees from all training grades to come together. There will be lots of opportunities to meet and discuss with your fellow specialist trainees during the day. At the end of the day you will come away with a better understanding of yourself, and some practical changes to carry forward especially to improve teamwork and handle the conflicts that often exist in this highly pressured setting.

The day will be delivered by the Faculty of Medical Leadership and Management in conjunction with, Brian Kennedy & Carly Farrow.

Following the escalation of COVID-19 Coronavirus in Europe and the UK, and as a precautionary measure we have decided to cancel the HST Training Day which was due to take place on 27th March

We are disappointed to have to cancel this training day however the wellbeing of our trainees is essential.

If you have been given study leave to attend the training day, please contact your trust who will be able to advise your working requirements (if any) for the day.

All other School events are currently due to proceed but we will continue to review the situation daily. We will advise trainees as soon as possible should any further cancellations become necessary. 

Thank you for understanding and cooperation in this matter. 

Organising trainee: Rula Wahida

.

The School has taken the difficult decision to further extend the cancellation of all training activities and events until the end of May. 

Further announcements will be made in the coming weeks for events from June onwards, as we continue to monitor the ever-changing situation.

We recognise the importance of the activities and events and are looking into alternative ways to bring this to you including an online learning platform. We will keep you updated as this piece of work progresses.

If you are concerned about work or training, please do hesitate to contact your Training Programme Director or any of the Schools Operational Team. 

Dear Emergency Medicine HST trainees 

You are invited to attend the first HST regional teaching session which is taking place on Friday 5th June, 09:00-11:00hrs. This session will take place using Microsoft Teams

These sessions will take place every Friday between 09:00 – 11:00hrs and will take place instead of the monthly face to face training days. Please ensure you inform your rota coordinators accordingly.

Internal study leave should be reinstated now that Trusts are looking at plans for return to business as usual,  any time spent viewing online content should accrue into normal study leave allowances. We plan to run these up to the end of December, after which the hope is that we can meet again face to face.
