Find out moreAbout the Training & Education Committee
The Training & Education Committee brings together a fantastic mix of people from across the Acute Medicine community. Our members include representatives from SAM Council, takeAIM, resident doctors, new and experienced consultants, and multidisciplinary colleagues from across the UK.
We believe the best educational ideas come from bringing together different experiences and perspectives. Whether you're just starting your career in Acute Medicine or have years of experience, everyone has something valuable to contribute.
Our committee meets regularly to shape the Society's educational programme, develop new resources and support educational initiatives that benefit the whole Acute Medicine community.
Meet the Chair
Dr Beth Griffith
Dr Beth Griffith
Beth is a Consultant in Acute Medicine at Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and is currently on sabbatical at Landspítali University Hospital in Reykjavík, where she's helping develop Acute Medicine services in Iceland.
Beth has been involved with SAM for a number of years, first as a takeAIM Fellow and later as the New Consultant Representative, and ecoSAM lead, before becoming Chair of the Training & Education Committee.
Education has always been a huge part of Beth's career. She is Education Lead for the Mersey AIM Training Programme, a FAMUS Supervisor, and has led the development of structured educational programmes for Acute Medicine residents, including co-developing AWESAM with colleagues across SAM to help senior registrars prepare for consultant life.
She loves teaching Acute Medicine - from the bread-and-butter clinical topics we all see every day or the parts of the job that don't always make it into the curriculum. Her interests include practical, on-the-job learning for the whole acute medicine MDT, and she's also interested in the hidden curriculum of leadership, communication and non-clinical topics.
As Chair, Beth wants the committee to keep bringing fresh ideas to SAM: new speakers, new topics and new ways of learning, while making it easier than ever for members to get involved and share their expertise. She firmly believes some of the best educational ideas come from people who have never spoken at a national meeting before, and would love to hear from anyone with an idea to share.
What we do
The committee oversees and develops SAM's educational resources, with the aim of delivering practical, relevant and engaging education for the Acute Medicine multidisciplinary team.
We welcome new ideas for topics, speakers and educational projects, and encourage members to help shape and contribute to our education programme.
