Stage 2 and Stage 3 Training in Anaesthesia in the East of England, 2021 Curriculum

 

National recruitment to Specialty Training in Anaesthesia occurs in the final year of Core/Stage 1 training.

Stage 2 consists of two years (ST4 and 5) and Stage 3 also consists of two years (ST6 and 7).

On completion of specialty training with evidence of satisfactory progress the trainee is recommended for a CCT in Anaesthesia.

 

East of England anaesthetic trainees can expect to train across at least 3 hospitals during Specialty Training in order to meet the curriculum requirements.

Stage 2 typically consists of 2 years in one hospital and Stage 3 typically consists of 12 months in one of the teaching centres and 12 months in one of the District General Hospitals.

The Stage 2 placements are accepted at the time of appointment and The School will try to keep Stage 3 placements as geographically feasible as possible whilst tailored to the training needs of each trainee.
