Critical Care
Recognition, resuscitation and organ support for the deteriorating and critically ill patient.
Critical Care · Anaesthesia · Acute Medicine
Critical care medicine, taught properly.
Manchester Medical Academy provides structured lectures, courses and clinical resources for the teams who look after the sickest patients — doctors, nurses and specialists in critical care, anaesthesia and acute medicine.
What we teach
Three disciplines, one standard
Every module is written and delivered by a practising clinician, mapped to the way the work is actually done at the bedside.
Anaesthesia
Pre-operative assessment, airway management, and safe conduct of anaesthesia from induction to recovery.
Emergency & Acute Medicine
Time-critical decision making in the acute presentations that carry the greatest risk.
Who it is for
Built for the whole team
The material is pitched so that each group gets what it needs, without watering down the clinical detail.
- Doctors
- From foundation and core trainees building confidence on the unit, through to consultants refreshing practice.
- Nurses
- Critical care and acute nursing teams developing the assessment skills that catch deterioration early.
- Specialists
- Allied and advanced practitioners looking for structured, exam-relevant teaching in their subspecialty.
