Update from the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine

As the Faculty seeks to forge a path towards independence as a UK College of Intensive Care Medicine, it's important we remember our roots and the essential ongoing relationship we have with the RCoA.

Although many ICM doctors-in-training (DiTs) are now either training in ICM alone or with another partner specialty, just under half of our future ICM workforce are working towards a dual CCT with anaesthesia. 

Furthermore, many intensive care units around the UK rely on the knowledge, skills and experience brought by our anaesthetic colleagues in order to provide high-quality, patient-focused care. 

Consequently, anaesthetists will continue to hold a critical role in training the intensivists of the future.
