Stage 1 Training in Anaesthesia in the East of England, 2021 Curriculum
Stage 1 of training consists of three years. It forms the start of a career in anaesthesia and gives a trainee a comprehensive introduction to elective and emergency anaesthetic practice and preoperative care.
All hospitals with trainees are recognised to provide the RCOA curriculum for Stage 1 training, leading to the CCT in anaesthesia. CCT Guides are available in full from the RCOA website.
Rotations consist of 1 or 2 hospitals. If 2 hospitals then the rotation is 1-2 years in the first hospital and 1-2 years in the second hospital. Some rotations are 18 months in each hospital. The School is committed to keeping the hospital rotations as close to each other as is feasible. We would like to remind trainees that rotations are accepted at time of appointment and trainees are expected to organise domestic arrangements accordingly. Please note that changes to these rotations are not allowed as the training programme is running to near full capacity and spaces are limited.
In the event of an exceptional change in your circumstances, resulting in a request to change rotations, each case will be reviewed by the Head of School and subsequently the Deputy Postgraduate Dean.
