Together we are intensive care!

As we step into a new year, we take a moment to reflect with immense gratitude on everything we have achieved together. Over the past months, our community has continued to grow, collaborate, and push the boundaries of what is possible in intensive care medicine. Through education, research, innovation, and shared dedication, we have strengthened our collective ability to improve outcomes for patients and support their families when it matters most.

2026 offers us the opportunity to continue building on that foundation. May we care with compassion, connect to learn from one another, and inspire positive change within our teams and across our hospitals. May we continue to advance practice, embrace innovation, and shape the future of our speciality with integrity and purpose.

Thank you to everyone—members, officers, faculty, industry, and colleagues—whose commitment and enthusiasm drive the ESICM mission forward every day. Your contributions make our community stronger and our impact greater.

We wish you a warm, healthy, and inspiring 2026. Happy holidays and best wishes for the year ahead!
