During stage 3 of the Anaesthetics Curriculum, 12 months (whole time equivalent) of training must be undertaken in one or more areas of special interest. This allows the anaesthetist in training to develop knowledge and skills to enable them to gain the capabilities required to be an independent practitioner. It also prepares them for specialised areas of anaesthetic practice that they may want to pursue as a consultant or in preparation for additional training opportunities that might be undertaken in a more specialised area of anaesthetics practice after gaining CCT.

Below is a list of the special interest modules available in the deanery. Most modules are for 6 months (2x 6 months SIA). You could choose to do 1 SIA for 12 months, however, this will likely require an interview. The process for 1 year SIAs will be emailed to you closer to the time.
