Non-theatre
Learning outcome
- To build on the competencies gained in basic curriculum to include managing patients in a greater variety of out of theatre environments.
Core clinical learning outcome:
- To deliver safe peri-procedure anaesthesia/sedation to adult patients outside the operating theatre, but within a hospital setting, for painful or non-painful therapeutic procedures under distant supervision
NB: All competencies annotated with the letter ‘E’ can be examined in any of the components of the Final examination identified in the FRCA examination blueprint section.
