Applications are open for a FPMLearning Trainee Member

Published: 18/09/2024
COMMITTEE AIMS & OBJECTIVES

The FPM Learning Group oversees the FPM’s wider e-learning resource, FPM Learning.

We are looking for a Trainee member to participate in the FPM Learning work streams. Whilst experience of writing blogs or short articles will be of benefit, this is not a requirement. We are looking for individuals who are energetic and passionate to teach with the support of the Faculty.

THE ROLE & YOU

Person Specification: Those eligible must meet the following essential criteria:

  • Be a registered trainee of the Faculty of Pain Medicine in active practice.
  • Have an interest in writing blogs or short articles and education.
  • In addition, those applying must not have notable commitments to other educational providers that would result in insufficient capacity to take forward FPM Learning work streams.
  • It is recommended that potential FPM Learning Members discuss their interest in the opportunity with hospital colleagues and line management, to ensure they can dedicate the appropriate time to the role. This position does not attract any remuneration from the FPM.

SUPPORT

The Chair will support you from your first meeting and throughout. The FPM Learning group, like all Faculty groups, is a positive and open work environment and the FPM Secretariat will be on hand to support you as you join and with subsequent workflow.  This includes learning how to undertake tasks with which you are not already familiar.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • The FPM Learning Trainee Member is expected to:
    • Attend FPM Learning meetings
    • Advise on development of content areas.
    • Ensure content is available in a timely fashion for publication.
    • Ensure content is of an acceptable quality.
    • Liaise with the FPM Learning Chair and Deputy Chair to identify any controversial content prior to publication.

MEETINGS

  • Typically meetings take place quarterly and are virtual.
  • FPM Learning Members may not send delegates to attend in their place.

Disclosure of interest: All FPM Learning Members should disclose to the Chair any relevant conflicting interest of any kind (financial or otherwise) arising in relation to any item on the agenda. 

Meeting arrangements

  • Copies of the Agenda and accompanying papers will be sent to Group  members in  advance.
  • Members can request the Chair to add items to the agenda in advance of the meeting.
  • All members are encouraged to speak freely and contribute to the discussions.
