The Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine curriculum requires intensive care doctors to initiate, perform, interpret, understand, and integrate radiological investigations with clinical presentations to manage critically unwell patients. In this series, six talks - focused on thoracic, trauma, abdominal, and cranial radiological imaging, as well as point-of-care ultrasounds - will be given by distinguished specialist speakers to enable participants to gain a thorough understanding on broad radiological topics that cover the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine curriculum.

Day 1 focus 

• Give participants the opportunity to understand point of care ultrasound, including its role in neuro-intensive care.
• Learn how to interpret abdominal radiology and relate this to intensive care medicine.
• Provide participants with the skills and knowledge to interpret and understand cardiac ultrasound and cranial doppler and how it is used in managing critically unwell patients.

Day 2 focus

• Understand and learn how to interpret radiology relevant to neuro-radiology, trauma radiology and cardio-thoracic radiology.
• Relate radiology findings to critically unwell patients and intensive care medicine.
• Provide participants with the skills and knowledge to comprehend thoracic radiology for intensive care.

All session topics will follow the faculty of intensive care medicine curriculum.

Learning outcomes:

• Develop the knowledge and skills required to successfully prepare for the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine exams.
• Interpret, integrate, and apply radiological findings from a variety of imaging modalities within critical care practice.
• Identify and select appropriate imaging modalities for the assessment and management of critically unwell patients.
• Understand the principles of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) and utilise it to support the management of critically ill patients.
• Accurately interpret thoracic, cranial, and abdominal imaging relevant to intensive care.
• Interpret radiological investigations essential for the assessment and management of trauma patients within intensive care.

Who should attend?

• Trainees preparing to take the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine exams that are taking place in March 2026.
• Clinicians and allied healthcare professionals with an interest in intensive care medicine and radiology.

Please be aware that attendees can attend both or just one of the events in this two-day webinar.
