Current Trainee Committee

Elected Members:

Chris Booth (Chairman)		I am a Specialist Registrar in Intensive Care Medicine and Anaesthesia currently in my final year of training in the North Western Deanery. I have been a member of the ICS trainee committee since 2009 and was elected as the chair in 2010. I represent trainees on the ICS council. I am a founding board member of the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine and sit on the FICM Training and Assessment Committee. I have previously been a member of the Intercollegiate Committee for ACCS Training. I have a special interest in Education and Training and have recently completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Workplace Based Medical Education. My other areas of interest include quality improvement and management.
Dan Harvey		I am a dual ICM & Anaesthesia trainee currently in my advanced year in the East Midlands Deanery. I started out in medicine before swapping to anaesthesia with a view to a career in intensive care. I have been a member of the committee since 2008 and was privileged to be re-elected for a further 2 year term in May 2010. I represent the Trainee Committee on the Standards, Safety and Quality sub-committee of the ICS. My professional interests include respiratory and cardiovascular monitoring and modelling and applied ethics. I'm halfway through a Masters in Ethics, the DICM and I have recently completed a year as a research fellow. I'm married with 2 daughters (8 months and 2 years old), all of which keeps me quite busy.
Hugo Buckley		I am an ICM and Anaesthesia trainee from the NW Deanery. I was elected to the trainee committee in 2010 having previously been involved with trainee representation at a local level. Since my election I have acted as the trainee representative on the Meetings and Members services committees. I have helped co-ordinate the trainee Linkmen Scheme and am heavily involved in arranging trainee session at the SOA and training days for junior trainee's pre-ICM. At work my particular interests are renal replacement therapy and critical scenario SimMan training. Although my rugby career has retired to the sidelines I am still a passionate and an ever-hopeful supporter of Sale Sharks.
Nick Bunker		I am a Year 4 SpR based in West London. I am a dual accrediting in anaesthesia and ICM but have done a reasonable amount of medicine and surgery before seeing the light. Currently I am out of programme in a research fellow post and trying to get through enough experiments to work so I can write my MD. Clinically my interests are in burns and trauma surgery and the ICM associated with these areas. I have an interest in management and have previously represented junior anaesthetists at a local level. When not in the lab, theatre or ICU I play golf badly and climb slowly.
Nicola Jones		I am a year 5 specialist registrar training in anaesthesia and intensive care medicine and hope to specialise in cardiothoracics. Somewhat of an echo enthusiast, I am certified in transoesphageal echocardiography and am now studying for my BSE transthoracic exams. I am interested in the growing use of TTE in the critically ill London Prepare to Lead Scheme I feel that it is essential for all clinicians to have a greater understanding of the NHS and to be actively involved in determining its future. When I have time I like to run.
Paul Hunt		I'm a full-time military doctor (Army) from an Emergency Medicine background currently going into my Advanced ICM training year in the Northern Deanery. I have clinical interests in major trauma and head injury, as well as education and research. I completed my MD at the University of London in 2012 and am undertaking the Dip Med Ed over the next few years. I'm married to an anaesthetic trainee and we have two young sons.
