Non-theatre
At core level it is anticipated that non-theatre anaesthesia will be confined to the provision of anaesthesia for diagnostic imaging
Learning outcomes:
- To safely undertake the intra-hospital transfer of the stable critically ill adult patient for diagnostic imaging
- To understand the risks for the patient of having procedures in these sites
- To understand the responsibilities as a user/prescriber of diagnostic imaging services
Core clinical learning outcome:
- Can maintain anaesthesia for stable critically ill adult patients requiring diagnostic imaging under distant supervision [in conjunction with their transfer as identified in Transfer Medicine]
NB: All competencies annotated with the letter ‘E’ can be examined in any of the components of the Primary examination identified in the FRCA examination blueprint on page B-99 or in the Final examination identified in the Final FRCA blueprint on page C72 of Annex C.
