What is the N&AHP Committee?

the Nursing & Allied Healthcare Professionals Committee is the most recent committee created following the ESICM restructuring. The main objective of the committee is to facilitate the integration of nurses and other allied healthcare professionals within all other ESICM committees and to develop active participation at all levels of the Society. The Nursing and Allied Health Professionals Committee is the representative body of ESICM nurse and AHP members. It is fully integrated into all aspects of the ESICM's work and represented in each of the major committees.

N&AHP members 

The ESICM actively encourages membership from any health professionals working or strongly associated with intensive care.
Curently, there are nurses and physiotherapists members from more than 15 European countries and there are opportunities to link and share practice and experience via the Annual Congress as well as via projects such as PRICE (Physical Restraint in Intensive Care in Europe).
 

Aims and Strategy 2006/2007

1. Raise the profile of intensive care nursing and allied health professionals within the ESICM and amongst European nurses and AHPs
2. Complete the PRICE study
3. Work towards a European consensus statement on the use of physical restraint in intensive care patients
4. Redevelop a nursing and AHP specific emphasis to the scientific programme at the Annual Congress
5. Work to increase the opportunities for nurses and AHP across Europe to attend the congress
6. Integrate with other Europe-wide affiliations such as the EDTNA/EFCCNA, etc. to improve the cross-fertilisation of knowledge and practice in Europe
