The unit acts as a tertiary referral centre for the 400,000 people living in the lower South Island. We have a busy aeromedical retrieval team involved in both inter-hospital and pre-hospital transport, predominantly by helicopter. The unit has recently been refurbished, and a state-of-the-art 22 bed-space unit is scheduled to open this year. Secondments to Anaesthesia for registrars in ICU core training are available to complete CICM training requirements.
Our consultant and senior nursing staff are dedicated to providing high-quality registrar education. We provide a five-day orientation programme covering both critical care and aeromedical retrieval. Registrars attend weekly seminar-based education and fortnightly simulation sessions. Teaching targeted at primary and fellowship exams for CICM is available. In-house echocardiography and ultrasound teaching is also available. We also offer a number of courses locally including BASIC, RACEplus, advanced critical care echocardiography courses, and 4i.
Dunedin Hospital has a strong collaborative relationship with the University of Otago, making a number of teaching and research options possible for those keen to pursue their academic careers whilst completing their clinical work. Statistical support is available for those wishing to complete a project as part of training (e.g., the ACEM 4.10 requirement).
The unit is accredited for training in intensive care medicine by CICM (general, trauma, cardiac), as well as for ACEM critical care and RACP basic training. The run also provides invaluable experience for surgical registrars, particularly prior to application for RACS training schemes.
