Applications are open for an FPM Education Sub-Committee Trainee Member
Committee Aims and Objectives
The Education Sub Committee’s (FPMESC) overall purpose is to take forward matters relating to education and learning. It will also advise the Faculty on a strategic plan for lifelong learning, including matters relating to e-learning and courses/events.
We are looking for a trainee member to join the Sub-Committee.
The Role and 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 education.
- In addition, those applying must not have notable commitments to other educational providers that would result in insufficient capacity to take forward FPMESC work streams.
- It is recommended that potential FPMESC 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 FPMESC, 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.

The FPMESC Trainee Member is expected to:
- Attend FPMESC meetings
- Advise on development of FPM educational content
- Review and consider the educational needs of the members of the Faculty
- Assist in running courses and events for the Faculty
Meetings

Meeting arrangements
- Copies of the Agenda and accompanying papers will be sent to Group members in advance.
