8. 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

9. 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)

10. 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)

11. 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

12. Resources
FICM website - examples, examiners reports BJA CPD articles Guidance/statements from FICM/ICS Oxford Desk Reference Critical Care

13. Courses
FICM run FFICM Prep course for OSCE/viva Run in Leeds, lots of local faculty Often practice OSCE/viva course run within deanery Other courses around the UK
