You will also review and discuss possible admissions to the unit from ED, the wards and step-downs from Intensive Care. ARCU hosts a consultant of the week who often has a background in Respiratory Medicine or Critical Care, so this is a perfect opportunity for any medical trainee to gain more experience in these areas prior to commencement of ST3 training.
