This two-year combined clinical, academic, and vocational programme is designed for senior trainees and new consultants in intensive care medicine. It will enhance your specialist skills and broaden your understanding of healthcare education, research, and leadership.

The programme is built for aspiring tertiary centre intensive care medicine subspecialists, with explicitly individualised training focused on your areas of interest and personal development goals.

The Clinical Medicine Programme has been developed by Cambridge University Health Partners, the Academic Health Sciences Centre, and the University of Cambridge Institute of Continuing Education.

It comprises the following elements:

Helmsmanship

A vocational, non-award bearing Helmsmanship (Healthcare Education, Leadership and Management) course delivered by Cambridge University Health Partners and the Judge Business School, which aims to develop the non-clinical skills required for consultant appointments.
