Job description

The Proposed Job
This 6 to 12 month post offers candidates the opportunity to gain experience in Intensive Care medicine in a
busy district general hospital whilst training in critical care ultrasound gaining competency in Focused
Intensive Care Echocardiography (FICE) and Core Ultrasound in Intensive Care (CUSIC).
This job would be ideally suited to individuals who are committed to a career in Intensive Care Medicine
(ICM) whether accrediting singly or with another specialty. Some experience in ICM is strongly desirable.

The clinical training programme is outcome-based and follows the curriculum developed by the Faculty of
Intensive care medicine (FICM). This is described in detail on the FICM’s documents on training and
assessment (http://www.ficm.ac.uk). The ultrasound competencies are based on the Intensive Care
Society’s FICE and CUSIC recommendations
www.ics.ac.uk/ics-homepage/.../focused-intensive-care-echo-fice/;
http://www.ics.ac.uk/ics-homepage/accreditation-modules/cusic-accreditation/)

Clinical and Educational supervision will be provided by Dr Andrew Walden, Consultant in Acute and
Intensive Care Medicine and Dr Jon Hughes, Consultant in Anaesthesia and Intensive care medicine. Both Dr
Hughes and Dr Walden are established FICE mentors and Dr Walden is a CUSIC mentor and member of the
CUSIC committee that developed the training guidelines. Dr Hughes is the FICM tutor.

The prospective candidate would work 70% of their time on the ICM rota and 30% of their time training in
Ultrasound and Echocardiography. The candidate would accredit in FICE and CUSIC and would have the
opportunity to develop other more advanced Echocardiography and Ultrasound skills. Specifically the
option of working towards the full British Society of Echocardiography (BSE) echo accreditation could be
facilitated. There is also the option of gaining competence in venous sonography and abdominal ultrasound
scanning. We have developed collaborations in ultrasound research with Dr Kirk-Bailey at the University of
Surrey (pleural effusions in critical care PECC study) and Professor Tim Harris at Bart’s and the London
(barriers to implementation of lung ultrasound amongst trainees)
