Potential options include: Liver Critical Care Fellowship The Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham has the one of the two largest adult liver transplant programmes in the UK, completing on average over 200 transplants per annum over the last 10 years, and incorporating innovations such as machine perfusion of donor livers. In addition to valuable experience in general intensive care, Fellows will also gain experience in general hepatology, acute liver failure (including support with plasma exchange), acute-on-chronic liver failure, and post-operative care of the hepatobiliary and liver transplant surgical patient. They will attend liver transplant listing meetings and MDTs, Morbidity and Mortality meetings and can experience transplant surgery and anaesthesia. In addition to Critical Care teaching, there is weekly hepatologyteaching. There is an active research programme in liver critical care and across all liver specialties. Neurocritical care Fellowship Clinical experience on the critical care unit will include ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke (including mechanical thrombectomy), subarachnoid and intraventricular haemorrhage, status epilepticus, neuromuscular disorders, complex weaning and traumatic brain injury with advanced neuro-monitoring techniques, as well as care of the patient post-complex neuro and spinal surgery. To obtain these competencies fellows will rotate through general, trauma and burns in addition to neuro critical care. To obtain additional specific neuro critical care skills they can attend sessions with neuro-radiology, interventional neuro-radiology, neurophysiology and neuro rehabilitation consultants.

We are a Major Trauma Centre with over 500 trauma admissions to the critical care unit per annum. As part of the clinical team, you will gain experience of trauma care throughout the continuum of the patient pathway- from arrival in the ED, through theatre and critical care to rehabilitation, providing critical emergency care to the wide range of the patients. Several of the Consultant lntensivists have an interest in pre-hospital trauma care, and you will have the opportunity to work alongside ED trauma physicians, trauma anaesthetists, trauma intensivists, as well as military personnel from the Royal Centre for Defence Medicine. There are weekly Major Trauma and Burns MDTs, and monthly MTS morbidity meetings. Burns and trauma research is an active area at QEHB.
