Our aim in setting up the BASIC course is to facilitate teaching of the basic management of the critically ill. The course material consists of a textbook, slides (in Powerpoint format), CD-ROM presentations, on-line pre-course MCQ test, skill station material and post-course MCQ test. All the material (except the on-line MCQs) can be downloaded free on the following conditions:

  • You acknowledge the source of the material.
  • The material is used for non-commercial purposes. We are happy for course organizers to make a profit but all profits must be used for Intensive Care education or research
  • If you want to make changes to the course you send the changes to us for approval and agree to the revised material being made available free on our website, and subject to the same conditions as existing material. Your contribution to the project will be acknowledged.
  • The course is registered with us and pre- and post-course MCQ answers are submitted to us on-line.
  • The course director has attended a BASIC course as an instructor candidate
    • Even if you have run FCCS, ACLS or ATLS courses before we feel that attending a BASIC course is useful. We have tried to make sure that the lectures are not simply repetition of the book chapters and to make the slides more pictorial than textual, with the inevitable result that greater preparation by the speakers is required.
  • Courses must include 75% of the overall course material and 75% of the skill station material
  • The number of candidates should not exceed 6 per skill station

Please contact us for further details.

Continued development of the BASIC course is supported by a generous grant from Dräger Medical.
