Educational Activities
Written by Dr Kubli   

Currently the Anaesthetic and Intensive care medicine department offer weekly teaching seminars on both the Tuesday and Wednesday mornings from 0800-0830 hrs. The presentations are given by a mixture of CT1's to consultant level. Attendance is not optional and a record is kept. A PowerPoint projector is available for use but requires communication from you with the department secretary or manager for you to get ready before hand the day or week before.

There is a once monthly educational half day which occurs in the afternoon. A list of dates is on the notice board. It is an opportunity for you to present and audit or interesting case.

Regional teaching days occur on a roughly once monthly basis and updates on which days they occur will be emailed to you. If you have any queries about attendance contact the College tutor. You would be expected to return back to St Peter's at 1800hrs if you are rostered to work the late day 0800 - 2000hrs. Although it forms part of the compulsory teaching a study leave form needs to be filled out in order for the department know of your whereabouts. Do not assume you are attending if you have not filled out a form. The attendance at regional teaching days take precedence to "holding the bleep" duties but you must apply with adequate warning. The regional teaching days are at CT1 level, ST3-4 & ST5-7.

There is a study leave budget £650 - £800 per annum.

Supervision of your training occurs with the appointment of an educational supervisor who is made known to you in the induction pack. The Local Faculty Group (LFG) for anaesthesia meets 3 times a year to discuss trainee issues. The LFG consists of the educational supervisors, trainee representatives & various trust personnel.
