White Paper and Role Profiling Documents

White Paper on the Future of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine

The White Paper Group were tasked with producing a white paper on the Future of Anaesthesiology, Intensive Care & Pain Medicine in Ireland for the CAI. The group considered the current state and future needs of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care/Critical Care Medicine (ICM/CCM) and Pain Medicine in Ireland.

The paper highlights the comprehensive training program offered by the CAI, which integrates substantial ICM/CCM components. However, recent changes including the introduction of an ICM register and the instruction by the IMC to exclude ICM/CCM references from the CAI’s CSCST have raised concerns over legal and professional implications for practitioners.
