BRISTOL SCHOOL OF ANAESTHESIA

About the School Subspeciality Training ICM ICM - Advanced

Entry to advanced training is through a competitive interview. This is normally done in years ST5-7. There are 4 posts per year. The posts rotate through Bath, Bristol Royal Infirmary, and Frenchay, with 2 months in Paediatric Intensive Care at The Bristol Royal Hospital for Children and 1 month in Birmingham. Completion of the advanced year will ultimately lead to a joint CCT in anaesthesia and intensive care medicine.  When planning your year in Advanced ICM, bear in mind that you have to do at least 18 months of anaesthesia in years ST5-7 to obtain your CCT in anaesthesia.
