The 2010 curriculum requires all trainees to undergo 12 months of advanced training. The curriculum contains 8 clinical modules (including general duties) and 3 non-clinical modules.The College recognises that some trainees may wish to combine six months of one of the specialist Advanced Level units [e.g. obstetrics or plastics and burns], with six months completing some units from within general duties.Trainees opting for twelve months of Advanced Level general duties are expected to choose a selection of the units available, as it will be impossible to have gained all the advanced learning outcomes in an indicative twelve month period. Trainees will however, be expected to complete a minimum of two of the units and it is anticipated that the vast majority will complete more than this as many have overlapping competencies. The CCT training manual sets out indicative programmes for the following subspecialities:
- cardiac/thoracic
- intensive care medicine
- neuroanaesthesia
- obstetrics
- paediatrics
- pain management
- burns and plastics
- general duties
Trainees wishing to do advanced training in ITU should contact the regional Advisor Dr Chris Thorpe at Ysbyty Gwynedd.
Trainees wishing to do advanced training in pain should contact the regional Advisor Dr Sharmila Khot at Cardiff.
Not all aspects of advanced training can be provided within the Welsh school. Trainees wishing to subspecialise should speak to consultants in their chosen area for detailed advice.
