Day to day clinical supervision is provided by the duty consultant to whom the IiT is clinically responsible.
All IiTs should have nominated ICM Educational Supervisor (ES) who oversees the overall educational progress during training. IiTs should meet regularly with their ES and record these meetings on the LLP. If their ES is not from an anaesthetic background, then during this Stage 1 anaesthesia year, IiTs will also require an Anaesthetic Clinical Supervisor (CS) who is able to supervise this specific placement. At the end of the placement, both the ES and CS should contribute to the Educational Supervisor Structured Report (ESSR).
All intensive care units have a FICM-appointed Faculty Tutor. If there are any issues regarding airway competence (e.g. appropriateness of an on-call tier) and curriculum requirements, these should be escalated to the FICM-appointed Faculty Tutor.
