Trainee led intensive care unit induction - an educational and quality improvement project

Introduction Under the leadership of the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine, junior trainees from varied medical backgrounds are increasingly undertaking placements in Intensive Care Units (ICU) [1]. Unlike their predecessors, current trainees may have little prior training in advanced organ support (AOS), yet clinical responsibility may be high a potential patient safety issue. Traditional seniordoctor led departmental induction may not rapidly adapt to the evolving requirements of current trainees [2].
