WAHT Undergraduate Academy

New to this field? That's OK, healthcare experience advantage but not required. And no we haven't misspelled mannequin; "manikin" is the convention for medical simulation devices! Learn more about simulation at @WorcsAcuteNHS Undergraduate Academy here: wahtundergraduateacademy.com/simulation

Do you have a tech background, confident with AV equipment? We have an exciting opportunity to join the world of medical simulation, all at a time in which we're developing a new sim centre including 'immersive' room. Details and application via NHS Jobs: jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/joba…

@WorcsAcuteNHS We know from feedback that right from their induction and in their student care (thanks to our Admin and Undergrad Coordinators), and all through their clinical teaching, practical skills and simulation, our students know we value our work and value their learning.

We're still buzzing from Friday's honour for our whole team in Undergraduate Medical Education at @WorcsAcuteNHS.

We won! Thanks to @tcms_worc for this award honouring our Outstanding Practice Learning Environment. Proud of all our clinical teaching faculty and Simulation Team!

@UoBMBChB Huge thanks to @UoBMBChB for organising and hosting today's conference on Education for Healthcare Professionals. And congrats to all our Clinical Teaching Fellows for these presentations on your brilliant work.

@UoBMBChB Lastly, Dr Ellie East with her project to develop ethical and legal principles through communication skills in final year medical students @UoBMBChB

Today, many of our faculty are attending the @uobmbchb Medical School Education for Healthcare Professionals 2025 Conference. First up representing @waht_ugacademy is Dr Jagdeep Bal with her presentation on improving diversity in UG dermatology teaching.

We're the recipients of @WorcsAcuteNHS's "Letter of the Week" here at the Undergraduate Academy. Always proud of our Clinical Skills and Simulation Team!

Are you a resident doctor (ST2+) who could take a year out of training to teach others? We're looking for new Clinical Teaching Fellows specialising in Paeds, or Obs & Gynae. Get in touch! (Contact details on the flyer.)

We're celebrating #LGBTQI History Month at the Academy, and @worcshealthlib just dropped this worcsacute.nhs.uk/worcestershire… brand new virtual book box for students, faculty, and everyone! Select papers on medical education and practice and book recommends with @OpenAthens.

We're currently recruiting to our pool of valued medical 'role players' . See the details below, and do give us a call/email if you're interested!

Did you know we use actors or role players 🎭 in many of our simulations? It's a valuable opportunity to experience and discuss ‘human factors’ skills, and gives our candidates a rare opportunity to hear direct feedback from (simulated) patients/family about their communication.

Warm wishes from the Undergraduate Academy for the festive season. Stay merry and stay safe! See you in 2025! ✨

Congratulations to our CHEC Bake Off winner - Charge Nurse Andrew McQueen - for his Salted Caramel Blondies. Well done on your bake! Not a Hollywood handshake but a Simonds handshake! #workbakeoff #waht

As @BritishBakeOff comes to an end, so does the office bakes. Winner announced at our Christmas Party but look at the talent we have in the office! Well done to all involved.

A lovely donation from the Undergraduate Teaching Academy to Worcester Foodbank this week that will offer some support. Thank you to all who contributed.
