• Understand the importance of a plan of action in order to achieve clinical progress, accurate diagnosis and early definitive treatment, and be able to formulate a plan of action and involve appropriate assistance in a timely manner
• Appreciate that complications tend to occur in a cascade and realise that prevention of complications is fundamental to successful outcome
• Be aware of the support facilities available and interact with nursing staff, other surgeons, intensivists and anaesthetists, being aware in particular of the surgeon’s role in the delivery of multi-disciplinary care to the critically ill
• Understand the requirements of the patients and their relatives during critical illness and be able to inform and support both appropriately
