IntroductionI am a Royal College of Physicians associate college tutor at QueenAlexandra Hospital, Portsmouth. As part of this role, one of myresponsibilities is to deliver the Portsmouth Procedure Course,designed to offer simulation training in core curriculum skills to coremedical and acute care common stem trainees. The course, tutoredby subject matter experts (consultants or senior member of themultidisciplinary team), combined classroom theory with skills labpractical sessions.I noticed that specialty registrars (SpRs) often applied to thecourse to perform procedural skills that weren’t part of their corejob role, and I felt there was a gap in their educational provision.I designed an SpR Procedures Course, focusing on the revision ofthe procedural skills, but also, recognising the senior level of thetrainees, how to manage complications.
