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.
