With a chronic shortage of doctors in intensive care, alternative roles are being explored. One of these is the role of the Advanced Critical Care Practitioner. The Advanced Critical Care Practitioner Curriculum was developed by the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine and is used to provide a structured programme of training. The Advanced Critical Care Practitioner programme consists of an academic and clinical component. This article outlines a practical approach of how the programme was developed and is currently being delivered at a single institution. This new advanced practice role offers opportunities to fill gaps in the medical workforce, improve continuity of patient care, provide mentoring and training for less experienced staff as well as offering a rewarding clinical role.

Intensive care medicine is an expensive service whose impact on health care has been questioned. South Africa is a country undergoing rapid social and political change and the role of intensive care medicine in the health care system of this country needs to be assessed. In this paper we evaluated the quality, cost-effectiveness and utilisation of technology in the intensive care unit of Baragwanath Hospital, a hospital serving the black community of Soweto.
