Department of Critical Care (DCCQ)

Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth

Doctors

The Portsmouth department of critical care has a strong ethos for supportive training and education.

We are very proud of our well established reputation for excellence in teaching and training. We consistently receive excellent feedback both informally and formally (STC and PMETB) from our doctors, nurses, medical and nursing students.

In 2009 our department became the first UK intensive care unit to achieve
C12 recognition for critical care training from the College of Intensive Care Medicine for Australia and New Zealand.

There is an active medical education centre in the Trust with libraries linked with the Wessex Medical Library in Southampton. Research projects are developed with the help of the Academic Research and Development Support Unit at QAH. The Critical Care Department has its own seminar room/library with a good selection of books and journals together with a number of computer work stations (with internet access) for the use of medical and nursing staff. Access to 'Up to Date' is available at the bedside and we subscribe to the ESICM 'PACT' modules.

We have also set up the Portsmouth Intensive Care Exam Revision (PINCER) course to help prepare for the new FFICM examination. This has recently been advertised in JICS and will take place on 1st March 2013. Please click on the
