[Training in anesthesiology and surgical intensive care in the United Kingdom].
A review of the training in anaesthetics in the United Kingdom is presented. After basic medical training and obtaining the MB BS qualification, the trainee will usually spend a year outside anaesthetics. Following this period, basic specialist training takes approximately four years, going through senior house officer and registrar grades, leading to the Fellow of the Royal College of Anaesthetist (FRCA) diploma. It is a three part examination system: Part 1 tests fundamentals of clinical practice, Part 2 tests the applied basic sciences relevant to anaesthesia and in Part 3 candidates are examined in the full range of knowledge required from the specialist anaesthetist. A Certificate of Accreditation is awarded after three years of satisfactory experience in a senior registrar post. The accredited senior registrar is then ready to apply for a consultant vacancy or a senior lecturer's post. Academic appointments are made at registrar and senior registrar levels (lecturers) and consultant level (as senior lecturers and professors).
