Dear All
As many of you are aware, Imperial School of Anaesthesia runs a Novice course for all fresh trainees entering the world of anaesthesia and we are currently recruiting for new volunteers. The course covers many of the important components of the Initial Assessment of Competency (IAC) required by novice anaesthetists in the first 3-6 months in order to practice without supervision. Since it's formation in 2010, the course has provided a valuable resource to all novices and we have always received excellent feedback. However we rely on the kindness of consultants/post FRCA SPRs to volunteer and help teach on the course.
The dates for this year's course are:
Lecture/Workshop Day 1 = Tue 11th Aug
Lecture/Workshop Day 2 = Mon 17th Aug
Lecture/Workshop Day 3 = Tues 25th Aug
Lecture/Workshop Day 4 = Fri 4th Sep
Simulation Day 1 = Mon 19th Oct
Simulation Day 2 = Tue 20th Oct
Simulation Day 3 = Wed 21st Oct
Simulation Day 4 = Thu 22nd Oct
Simulation Day 5 = Fri 23rd Oct
If you are able to help, please email imperialnovice@yahoo.co.uk.
Thank you so much for your help and support.

Course Details
The course also covers many of the important components of the Initial Assessment of Competency (IAC) required by novice anaesthetists in the first 3-6 months in order to practice without supervision. The course runs over five days and includes four days of lectures and workshops, with an emphasis on small group teaching and the practical aspects of anaesthetics. The fifth day is a simulation day, where the trainees are able to work through different scenarios in order to build their confidence in areas that are yet unfamiliar, though part of everyday anaesthetic practice.
Course costs are redeemable from your study leave budget.
The course is run by a group of consultants and post FRCA specialist trainees, who volunteer their time to teach and “impart their wisdom”.
