Anaesthesia Curriculum

Note: the Anaesthesia Portfolio can be found on the 'Anaesthesia Home Page' along the top menu bar

While in Anaesthesia, ACCS trainees should follow the relevant section of the ACCS curriculum, found on pages 119 - 156.

>> ACCS curriculum

Trainees in Anaesthesia are expected to pass the Initial Assessment of Competence (IAC) after approximately 3 months of training. ACCS trainees doing more than 3 months training in anaesthesia will follow a syllabus defined by Sections 4 to 6, 9, 14 and 16 to 21 of The CCT in Anaesthesia (part II: Basic Level (for ST / CT years 1 and 2) Training and Assessment).

The following documents contain the Anaesthesia basic level curriculum and supporting documents in full, though note these are in greater detail than is required for ACCS alone.
