Registrar appointments are usually of 6 or 12 month duration. Intensive Care trainees as well as those of other specialties (medicine, surgery, anaesthesia and emergency medicine) are welcomed. ICU registrars work an average of 44 rostered hours a week with additional transport call. Night duties are divided into 3 or 4 night blocks and trainees typically do 7 days of nights every 8 weeks. We prefer applicants to have had anaesthetic experience and to feel comfortable with airway management, line insertion and resuscitation.
These are interesting and enjoyable "hands on" positions and represent an
invaluable learning experience. For further details go to our "registrar
page".

One SR is appointed each year, starting in early December. This position
is an excellent bridging experience between registrar training and a consultant
post. As such, it is ideal for those that have successfully completed final fellowship examinations in anaesthesia or intensive care but have not yet completed their prescribed training time.
The SR is rostered on the consultant roster with nominal supervision from one of the department seniors. Research is encouraged and there is ample time for study towards the ICU fellowship examination. Rarely the SR may be required to fill in for the registrar roster. For further details go to our "registrar
page".
