ICM Annual Review of Competence Progression within KSS
There is a separate ARCP process for dual CCT trainees, run by the Deanery and the ICM TPD who will liaise directly with trainees. Before starting your advanced ICM training you will be called to attend an ARCP. At this ARCP you will be required to present the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine assessments of competence for Basic & Intermediate ICM training and any complementary modules. You will also need to present the ten Expanded Case Summaries signed off by your Educational Supervisors. If any of this documentation is incomplete you may not be able to start your Advanced ICM training.
