FICE training Point of care ultrasound and echocardiography increasingly recognised as useful for ICM Recommended that all trainees gain some formal training in POCUS FICE is run by the ICS – specifically designed for critical care patients

FICE Register with ICS (£30/£50) Pre-course learning (ICE-BLU) Attend 1 day course Within 12 months post course: 10 directly supervised scans 40 logbook scans Triggered assessment with FICE supervisor Submit paperwork to ICS

FICE in Yorkshire (at Pinderfields) FICE courses Several courses across the UK FICE in Yorkshire (at Pinderfields) Currently annually, may increase frequency All courses deliver essentially same content but prices vary

FICE mentors Barnsley Dr Chau Bradford Dr Bainbridge Chesterfield Dr Padmakumar, Miss Tully Harrogate Dr Earl, Dr Oledzka Hull Dr Balerdi, Dr Bennett, Dr Rigg Leeds Dr Beck, Dr Breen, Dr Parry, Dr Powell, Dr Ridley, Dr Sira Scarborough Dr Sladkowski Sheffield Dr Bauchmuller, Dr Marko, Dr Morgan, Dr Parnell, Dr Rosser, Dr Woodward Wakefield  Dr Sandhu, Dr Sloan, Mrs Wilson York Dr Redman, Dr Whiteside

When to do FICE No specification as to when it is required Clear rules on timing of FFICM and base specialty exams 50 logbook scans is a significant undertaking - consider upcoming placements, mentors, and external factors

Other ultrasound training BSE Critical Care Echo CUSIC 2 year program More advanced than FICE, aimed more at cardiac centres, or for echocardiography leads POCUS for lung, vascular, DVT and abdominal scans Often very useful on ICU Problems locally with finding mentors and supervisors Not yet a FICM requirement (nor imminently likely)

FFICM exam Integral part of ICM CCT Curriculum Can be taken at any stage during Stage 2 ICU training, but MUST be completed before starting Stage 3 MCQ paper (Jul/Jan), followed by OSCE/SOE (Oct/Apr)

Practically Stage 1 training covers ST3-4 If dual training with Anaesthetics, you need to get the FRCA to progress to ST5/Stage 2 ICM If dual training with Medicine/EM, you will already have the MRCP/MRCEM Advisable to try for first attempt at MCQ early in Stage 2 to maximise time/attempts
