“…However, most anaesthetists receive little training as teachers and little guidance on how to improve. Characteristics of good teachers include enthusiasm and willingness to teach combined with competence and good communication skills [14]. However, for complex techniques such as fibreoptic intubation, there may be a lack of potential teachers who are themselves trained in their use.…”

“…The learning that occurs in these environments is essential to the education of trainees as they acquire knowledge, skills and abilities essential to the consultant. It is known that teaching quality has a marked effect on trainee performance [4][5][6] and some researchers argue that the quality of the experience within the clinical environment shapes the quality of the entire medical education system 7 . The primary purpose of the operating room and ICU experience is for the anaesthetist and intensivist to impart valuable teaching and for the trainee to obtain essential learning.…”

Almost every aspect of anaesthetic and intensive care practice can be taught within the operating theatre and intensive care unit. This includes knowledge in the areas of medicine, anatomy, pharmacology, physiology, measurement and statistics, invaluable psychomotor and global skills and abilities, as well as the many important non-clinical aspects of anaesthesia and intensive care including effective communication, leadership, management, ethics and teaching. The operating theatre and intensive care unit offer many advantages and pose numerous challenges to education. This paper briefly discusses what can be taught in the operating theatre and intensive care unit, the educational challenges and benefits of teaching in these unique environments, implications for teaching and what consultants and trainees can do to positively influence the educational activity. The paper concludes with suggestions for facilitating learning in the operating theatre and intensive care unit including the Soldier's Five, practice vivas, skills training, endoscopic dexterity, interesting article exchange, in-service sessions, electronic resources and use out of hours.

“…Cleave‐Hogg and Benedict’s study of the characteristics of excellent clinical teachers describes, perhaps not surprisingly, the following traits: interest in teaching; enthusiasm and willingness to engage in discussion; content knowledge; intellectual honesty; and respect for trainees [45, 46]. All these characteristics may be present in those who are well‐intentioned but mediocre teachers – how then can we distinguish the best?…”

SummaryRecent trends in medical training have tended to focus on competence, in the sense of adequate performance, rather than excellence. This article reviews published literature and relevant concepts relating to excellence and professionalism from within anaesthesia, from medicine more generally and from outside the profession. A number of conceptual frameworks are presented that could be adapted for the promotion of excellence, and some of the necessary prerequisites for this promotion discussed.
