Summary
We are a recognised regional centre for training in ultrasound and echocardiography. We have close links with the cardiology department and Dr Elkington, consultant cardiologist, who is one of our local BSE supervisors. We also have close links with Dr Andrew Walden in acute medicine, who was involved in establishing point of care ultrasound within the hospital and also its national training process. Within the Department of Critical Care Medicine multiple consultants hold point of care ultrasounds skills ranging between full BSE accreditation, FUSIC heart, FUSIC lung and CACTUS (childrens point of care ultrasound). There are many opportunities for mentorship, education and participation in developing these skill sets. Both FAMUS, FUSIC and CACTUS courses are regularly run and are attended by delegates from around the country with excellent feedback. The department has a firm education and teaching programme with weekly, dedicated, bleep-free sessions for resident doctors to attend. These are overseen by multiple senior educators who also hold positions and undertake regular teaching within the University of Reading. We have high fidelity simulation facilities within the hospital and also have a dedicated facility within the ICU to provide in-situ simulations for MDT training in multiple types of clinical, human factors and patient safety aspects of ICM.
