We couldn't be prouder of our Zermatt to Verbier team on completing their mammoth alpine trek on Saturday!

David Sapsford 💙 🇺🇦 , Hannah Swan, Jim Walmsley , Luke Stevens and Sean Bennett battled the ups and downs of the challenge together and have raised over £32,000 - incredible!

Looking after the staff who care for patients is an essential investment.

At a time when mental health support for NHS staff is needed now more than ever, this decision needs to be reviewed.

Time to pause, reflect and provide the support staff need and deserve.

We’re thrilled to announce we’ve been successful in our application for funding from SBRI Healthcare & the Accelerated Access Collaborative to produce the ICU Sustainability Recipe Book alongside University of Brighton FICMNews & UK Critical Care Nursing Alliance.

Bruce was an Intensivist at
Portsmouth ICU & President of Intensive Care Society 💙 (2012). He was responsible for many founding principles of paediatric critical care & pandemic response (H1N1). A lovely, brilliant, talented musician & family man who had such a positive impact on so many💙

Segun Olusanya (He/Him) [email protected] Conversely, from the same manuscript ...

TRIC Network NEAT ECHO will quantify the size of this gap, as a starting point. Addressing the shortfall will be a different matter entirely.

European CCT frameworks seem to be ahead of us in terms of embedding echo skills in training.

Segun Olusanya (He/Him) [email protected] But following this logic, no new or novel technique would ever enter routine training…! AIM and EM are examples that have done it well. With a suitable grace period and support there’s no reason it can’t become the standard of care…🫀

Help me raise the final £1000 before we set off next weekend!
