Our ICU is committed to providing excellent multidisciplinary education. These focus on the day-to-day management of an ICU patient, our role within the hospital’s rapid response service and tailored individual support for those sitting postgraduate exams.

Additional regular sessions now include

• ECHO Club with David Green – an opportunity for consultants and trainees alike to review and discuss relevant echocardiography studies within the unit for the preceding month. With cases forwarded to Dr Green beforehand, he identifies a theme and facilitates an informative discussion based on this theme.
• Journal Club with Neil Orford – a monthly opportunity to review the literature relevant to Intensive Care Medicine. The high impact and practice changing studies are put in context with previous studies in the form of a TRIP (Translation of Research Into Practice) to contextualise how the evidence over time with a critical appraisal as to whether our unit’s practice should change.
• Fiji Case Discussions – an opportunity for our unit to hear and appreciate the complexity and challenge of providing intensive care in the pacific nation of Fiji. These sessions go a long way to continuing to support colleagues who have worked as trainees in Geelong and who are now working as Intensivists in Fiji.
