SICS Training and Education
Education and training in Intensive Care Medicine
The Society has an active role in the delivery of education and training in Intensive Care Medicine (ICM) in Scotland. The SICS Education and Training Group leads this and includes an annual SICS Education Meeting, Trainee meetings and Regional events.
The Society also has a number of other groups providing education and support across a range of ICM domains. The SICS Trainees Group represents trainees in ICM in Scotland within the Society and promotes training and collaboration amongst Scotland’s ICM trainees. The Trainee Group page provides more information on their activities and how to get involved.
Medical training in Intensive Care Medicine (ICM) in Scotland fully integrates into the UK national recruitment system. Further information regarding training in ICM is provided on our sub-page (ICM Training in Scotland) and the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine (FICM website)
