Do you ever feel the time is never enough to read all the articles published? Or do you find yourself reading articles not relevant to your interest?

The NEXT community is here to help you save time and make practical decisions on what to read, just at a glance!

Here we offer a Visual Abstract format where we have summarised the findings of most papers for you. You can have a quick overview of the study by observing the abstract and making your smart decision on its relevance to your field of interest.

Learn by listening! A unique opportunity to listen to exclusive interviews with the authors of the best research work in Intensive Care Medicine!

First-hand information on methodologies, challenges and findings of the research work will be served to you in a podcast format, to be listened to whenever you want!

Every third and fourth Tuesday of the month, we engage our social media followers with short multiple-choice quizzes!

Questions are drawn from real-world situations faced daily in clinical practice.

A simple self-evaluation strategy to help reinforce your knowledge and identify your individual learning needs.

The clinical cases will be evaluated by a jury composed of NEXT committee members, according to the published evaluation criteria. The “Best clinical cases” will be defined as those composing the upper quartile after scoring completion.
