Critical Care National Competencies (CC3N)
About CC3NThe Critical Care Skills Institute was opened in 2001 in response to a Government White Paper highlighting the need for more critical care beds and training. A Steering Group was formed with representation from each Greater Manchester Trust to develop our first Critical Care Programme, a competency-based course with supporting study days and workbooks. Around the same period, work began on our Acute Illness Management (AIM) course
Since that time our Critical Care Programme has been re-modelled into a collaborative course with Manchester Metropolitan University (Manchester Met). We have developed an Acute Illness Recognition module for practitioners based in acute areas, likewise as a collaborative course with Manchester Met. Our AIM course is delivered in hospitals around the country under licence agreement
