A Message from our Director

Over the last 10 years, we have been fortunate to acquire a state of the art education centre and have developed a highly respected multi-professional team of creative and educational staff, with a core team supported by a wider medical education admin and managerial family. Our simulation facilities have been massively extended and are now in almost continual use in order to provide the safest possible training and patient care. We have been able to welcome new roles of staff, particularly Physician Associates for whom we provide an integral part of their training and will be welcoming student PAs from next year. We have also developed a Matron in Medical Education, who has created an Engagement process to reach out to junior doctors, assisted by a Clinical Leadership Fellow whose remit includes developing trainee wellbeing and pastoral support.

The pandemic has affected us all in various ways but on a positive note has also allowed us to invest in and improve our use of videoconferencing, remote teaching and development of a wider variety of communication methods, including podcasts, many of which will be available through this website.

This is an opportunity for me to publically thank the medical education staff for their continued excellent dedicated work which is so well regarded by trainees and trainers, past and present. This new website is a continued expression of the dedicated and excellent performance of the MESH team and we hope it will be useful, informative and fun to use.
