Course summary
The Anaesthesia and Perioperative Medicine course is based on areas of clinical practice and professional skills that are relevant to all anaesthetic trainees. Face-to-face tuition will be provided in cutting-edge aspects of patient care using an evidence based approach to provide knowledge of clinical practice which extends beyond the scope of the training programme and represents many of the most important areas of development for clinical anaesthesia. The course also includes modules which enable students to gain an in-depth understanding of the professional skills essential for a successful career in the NHS. This course is intended to provide anaesthetists with the clinical and professional skills they need to achieve high levels of success in consultant practice. Students will be able to develop the skills to become the high-achieving consultants and clinical leaders of the future. Tuition is provided in both clinical practice and key professional skills including leadership, service development, research and an appreciation of evidence-based practice. We understand that deciding where and what to study is a very important decision. We’ll make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities described in this prospectus. However, if we need to make material changes, for example due to government or regulatory requirements, or unanticipated staff changes, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.
