The Intensive Care Unit is accredited for 2 years of core training by the College of Intensive Care Medicine (CICM). We offer a comprehensive teaching program for ICU trainees. Registrars have 5 hours a week of protected and paid training time with a formal consultantled education program delivered each week. The RMH ICU education team runs several courses such as MCEC, BASIC, REACT, CALS and critical care echocardiography in addition to examfocussed teaching for both Primary and Fellowship exams. Many opportunities exist for trainees to undertake research and complete their CICM formal project with supervision from experienced consultant researchers.
The ICU staffing structure ensures trainees are very well supported. In hours, the Intensive Care Unit, consisting of four pods, is staffed by five consultants, two senior registrars or transition fellows, and four registrars, one for each pod. From 7.30am to 12.00am one HMO is rostered for each pod, with a single HMO rostered overnight. Consultant support is available at all times out of hours.
