Would you like dedicated time to build your experience in research and QI while continuing clinical practice? Perhaps, you’re looking for mentorship from leading clinicians, researchers and policymakers in perioperative medicine? A fellowship with the Centre for Research and Improvement (CR&I) could be a perfect fit.
Alongside several other fellows, I’ve had the pleasure of a CR&I fellowship for the past year. Fellowships generally last 12 months, however several previous fellows have used the opportunity to develop proposals and obtain funding for higher degrees to continue their work. Fellows are attached to RCoA research projects, previously including PQIP, NELA, the QI Working Group, SNAPs and NAPs, among others.
Welcome to a new feature in this Bulletin issue in which we share and showcase education and training content to keep you up-to-date on good practice and ways of working.

We’d love to know how you find this. Tell us what content you want to see here and what professional-development areas you’d benefit from.
In this issue we’re focusing on patient safety, looking at communication and simulation and featuring videos, audio, and downloadable resources drawn from across our website and beyond.
