Paediatric Critical Care Medicine (PCCM) training is structured as a “supra-speciality” competency-based training programme. You must therefore have full-accredited training in a base speciality.

PCCM training in the Childrens’ Health Ireland PCCUs, is recognised by the Joint Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine (JFICMI) in Ireland.

Currently there are 2 tertiary Paediatric Critical Care Units (PCCUs) in the Republic of Ireland. They are specialised facilities within Children’s Health Ireland, CHI @ Crumlin and CHI @Temple Street. Crumlin is a 23-bedded tertiary PCCU fully staffed to PCCU standards. CHI @ Temple Street is a 9 bedded tertiary PCCU. On completion of the National Children’s Hospital on St James site, these will amalgamate into a 42-bedded PCCU. Admissions currently approximated to 1500 per year over the two sites. Our unique patient population ranges in age from 24 weeks gestation to 18 years. The training year will be based primarily in CHI @ Crumlin with the opportunity of a neuro-critical care module in CHI @ Temple Street.
