Frequently Asked Questions — Intensive Care
What is the ICM training pathway in the UK?
Intensive Care Medicine can be entered via dual CCT training (combined with anaesthetics, medicine, EM, or surgery) or as a standalone single-CCT programme. The standalone pathway runs from ST3–ST7 after ACCS or equivalent training. Most intensivists hold dual accreditation.
What exams do ICM trainees need to pass?
The FFICM (Fellowship of the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine) is the primary qualification. It is a single exam, the FFICM Final, in three sections: an MCQ, an OSCE and a structured oral examination (SOE). Many trainees also sit the FRCA or MRCP depending on their base specialty.
How competitive is ICM training?
ICM training at ST3 had a 2025 competition ratio of 2.97:1. Dual CCT programmes are accessed through the parent specialty (anaesthetics, medicine, etc.), where competition is considerably higher. Strong candidates have ALS/ATLS and audit in critical care.
What courses are most relevant for ICM trainees?
Key courses include ALS, ATLS, FFICM revision courses, advanced ventilation and haemodynamic monitoring courses, echocardiography in ICU, simulation-based team training, and courses on end-of-life care in the ICU setting.
