The Royal Melbourne is one of Victoria’s largest hospitals providing a comprehensive range of health services including acute, sub-acute, general, and specialist medical services throughout inpatient and community-based facilities. We are also a proud part of the world-renowned Melbourne Biomedical Precinct, working in collaboration to advance research for continuous improvement of clinical care.
Unit Description:
Royal Melbourne Hospital Intensive Care Unit is a state-of-the art 42-bed facility providing care for almost 3000 patients per year and is one of the biggest and busiest ICUs in Australia. We are a level 3 adult unit caring for general and specialty medical and surgical patients, including neuro- and cardiac surgery. We are also an intermediate ECMO centre, one of two major trauma centres in the state, and the also provide intensive care services for patients at the Royal Women’s Hospital, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and critically unwell patients from rural, regional Victoria and interstate.
The Intensive Care Unit is accredited for 2 years of core training by the College of Intensive Care Medicine including cardiac and neuro ICU and is one of only two Victorian sites accredited for trauma sub-speciality exposure. We offer a highly successful teaching program for ICU trainees, with our consultant team actively involved in the delivery of registrar and resident teaching, including exam-focussed teaching for both Primary and Fellowship exams. The RMH ICU education team runs several courses such as MCEC, BASIC, REACT, CALS and critical care echocardiography. Many opportunities exist for trainees to undertake research and complete their CICM formal project with supervision from experienced consultant researchers.
The ICU has four pods with a staffing structure ensuring trainees are very well-supported. In hours, the Intensive Care Unit is staffed by four consultants, two senior registrars or transition fellows and four registrars, one for each pod, plus an external outreach consultant and registrar. Consultant support is available at all times out of hours. From 7.30 am to 12.00 midnight one HMO is rostered for each pod, with a single HMO rostered overnight. Registrars have 5 hours a week of protected and paid training time with a consultant-led education program delivered each week.
