Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. HETV vision is to ensure the delivery of effective workforce planning and excellent education and training to develop a highly capable, flexible and motivated workforce that delivers improvements in health for the population of Thames Valley. OSEM administers the ACCS, PHEM, PEM and EM training programmes. The School is small, close knit and has a reputation for good pastoral care, and excellent training. In addition to the twice monthly regional training days, the higher trainees also organize a national CPD conference every winter, and are actively involved in the School board and training porcesses. Further information is available from: Dr Simon Smith, Head of School, and Consultant in EM, Oxford (simon.smith@ouh.nhs.uk) John Radcliffe Paediatric Intensive Care Unit The Paediatric Critical Care (PCC) unit provides intensive and high dependency care to the local population and children of Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire as well as further afield. Paediatric medical specialities include Infectious diseases, Respiratory medicine, Cardiology, Neurology, Endocrinology and Gastroenterology; the unit also admits patients undergoing specialist Neonatal surgery, General Surgery, Neurosurgery and requiring Trauma care. The PCC comprises an Intensive Care Area and an adjacent High Dependency ward with a combined capacity to accommodate 18 patients. The department is run by a PCC consultant of the week, one of 6 with either a Paediatric or Anaesthetic background. The consultant is a strong presence on the unit and provides a continuous high level of training and supervision. This includes overseeing the assessment and management of clinically unstable children on inpatient wards, in the ED or requiring retrieval from the DGH referral base. The HDU receives a number of complex and high risk patients directly from theatres, providing an excellent training opportunity in the management of paediatric surgical emergencies and postoperative care. The Oxford PCC is actively supported by a wide variety of multidisciplinary services including Paediatric Anaesthetics, Radiology, Physiotherapy and Psychology. We have close links to the local Paediatric Hospice, Helen House, to help support children with life limiting illness and their families. Paediatric Intensive Care retrievals are managed on a 24 hour basis jointly with Southampton General Hospital under the umbrella title of Southampton Oxford Retrieval Team (“SORT”). SORT provides support to over 15 District General Hospitals in the South Central Region.
