ACUTE CARE COMMON STEM
CORE TRAINING PROGRAMME

Curriculum and Assessment System

May 2010

Preface

The purpose of the Acute Care Common Stem (ACCS) programme is to provide trainees with a broad range of knowledge skills and attitudes so as to be able to:



  • assess any acutely ill patient and commence resuscitation if necessary.

  • diagnose the most likely underlying problem.

  • initiate appropriate investigations, commence appropriate immediate treatment and identify and liaise with the in-patient teams to ensure appropriate definitive care.


Uniquely, the ACCS programme delivers the training and experience needed for this by enabling the trainee to work and learn in the four areas most closely concerned with the acutely ill patient – General Internal Medicine (GIM), Anaesthesia (AN), Intensive Care Medicine (ICM) and Emergency Medicine (EM).
The knowledge base and skill set of these specialties are closely related. These specialties interface in the care of every acutely ill patient. By working in these specialties, the ACCS trainee will become familiar with the common acute and life threatening presentations, their rapid initial assessment and treatment and how to determine what definitive care will be needed and where it should best be provided.
The understanding and thorough grounding in these four specialties delivered by ACCS training will enable the doctor to work effectively both individually and as part of a team in the care of the acutely ill patient and develop a firm foundation for their future chosen specialty.
This document describes the curricular and assessment systems for Acute Care Common Stem core training. It is published by the College of Emergency Medicine (CEM), the Royal College of Anaesthetists (RCoA), the Federation of Royal Colleges of Physicians (FedRCP) and the Intercollegiate Board for Training in Intensive Care Medicine (IBTICM); which together form the Intercollegiate Committee for ACCS Training (ICACCST).
The curriculum and assessment system has been written following consultation between CEM, the RCoA, FedRCP, IBTICM, Heads of Specialty Schools, Programme Directors, individual consultants, trainees and lay people. This feedback was reviewed and developed by the ICACCST and approved by the three Colleges and the IBTICM.
The ICACCST will be pleased to receive comments on this document from both trainers and trainees. These should be addressed to ICACCST at:

The document is reviewed regularly with an implementation date for any changes being not less than 6 months after the publication date. Amended pages are sent to Dean Directors, Heads of Specialty Schools, Regional Advisors and Programme Directors for the specialties concerned. An updated version of the manual is maintained on the relevant College and IBTICM websites.
Occasionally, queries arise that affect the immediate interpretation or application of specific areas within this document. Answers to these will be published on the relevant College and IBTICM websites and, if necessary, earlier by e-mail to all Dean Directors, Heads of Specialty Schools, Regional Advisors and Programme Directors.
