Preparing internal medicine trainees for their intensive care rotations: What are we doing across the UK?
1Department of Anaesthesia, James Cook University Hospital, Middlesborough, UK.
Abstract:
Internal medicine trainees (IMTs) comprise a significant portion of rotational junior doctors in intensive care units (ICUs) in the UK. Provision of formal training for this role is highly variable, delivered by only 67% of units responding to our UK-wide survey. Topics most often covered in formal training include renal medicine, airway management, pharmacology, ventilators, vascular access and assessing the critically unwell patient. The results of the survey have been used to design a follow-up national survey of IMTs to elicit their perceived training needs when undertaking their intensive care medicine rotation.
