From Faculty to College – an interview with Dr Danny Bryden and Dr Jack Parry-Jones

FICM recently released a statement detailing the desire to progress from being a Faculty to an independent, standalone College.

Gareth Thomas (@garemlyn) and Ricky Bell (@renalricky) talk with the Dean and Vice-Dean of FICM, Dr Daniele Bryden and Dr Jack Parry-Jones about the path to becoming a college. The interview is split into three parts. This second part considers the process itself, the effects on members and those involved in providing critical care in the UK. The first part investigated the timing of the announcement and why we are undertaking this process now. The third part looks more to the future and some of the issues that will become important the further into this process we go.

Title – The Surgical Viewpoint on ICU

Intro text – Gareth Thomas @garemlyn speaks with Mr Peter Coyne @petercoyne1982, a Consultant Colorectal Surgeon in Newcastle with a special interest in advanced cancer and robotic surgery. This first part of the discussion homes in on the viewpoint of the surgeon regarding patients on ICU. Areas of particular focus are who has ownership of their care? Who should know if there is a deterioration? How are decisions made when more than one specialty has a vested interest?

Part 2 will cover common and serious complications affecting the general surgical patient on ICU and how to deal with them.
