Expert faculty will help you develop practical, theoretical and personal skills so that you can assess and manage critical situations in a systematic way.

CCrISP® is open to all specialities. However, in-course examples are predominantly taken from general surgical patients.

Course Content You will participate in a variety of practical training sessions during the CCrISP® course, including:

· Learning a system of assessment for the critically ill

· Understanding the subtlety and variety of critical illness presentation, alongside ways to improve its detection

· Understanding the importance of avoiding complications if possible

· Recognising the surgeon’s role in delivering multidisciplinary care to surgical patients

· Interacting with nursing staff, other surgeons, intensivists and anaesthetists

· Delivering the information and support that patients and their relatives require during surgical care

Learning Outcomes After attending this course, you should be able to:

· Adopt a structured, comprehensive approach to managing surgical patients

· Judge which patients are at most risk and plan to reduce their risk of adverse outcomes

· Recognise the deteriorating patient

· Model your non-operative technical skills in a safe environment

Candidates receive the greatest benefit when CCrISP® is taken in CT2/ST2 but candidates in the earlier part of specialty training - CT1/ST1 - may also apply. However, it is strongly recommended that candidates have had six months general surgery training, not including foundation training.

Foundation Trainees (F1 & F2) are no longer accepted on the CCrISP® Course and are recommend to attend the START Surgery course. If a trainee at Foundation level (1 or 2) attends the CCrISP® Course, he or she will be removed from the course without compensation.
