Limited availability!
The ESICM Fostering Sustainable Practices in Intensive Care Course aims to provide important insights in the importance of sustainability in the ICU and will finalize with a call for action.
The imperative to embrace environmental sustainability within healthcare is underscored by the many impacts of climate change on public health. The healthcare sector's contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions is in stark contradiction to its mission of promoting health, necessitating a critical look at how healthcare is delivered. Beyond the immediate and direct environmental consequences, the broader implications of climate change, including increased incidence of heat-related illnesses, respiratory conditions, and vector-borne diseases, place additional strain on healthcare resources, further amplifying the urgency for sustainable transformation.
As a leading and global society in intensive care medicine, ESICM acknowledges this critical moment to lead by example, showing that it is possible to maintain, and even enhance patient care standards while significantly mitigating environmental impact of the activities in the ICU.
Limited availability!
The ESICM General Intensive Care Ultrasound (GENIUS) course is a comprehensive, learner-centric course which aims to support physicians in achieving the competencies described in the recently published ESICM guidelines on ultrasound competencies.
The two-day training programme will offer theoretical insights, hands-on learning and case discussions with experts in critical care ultrasound. There will be ample opportunities to discuss and interact with colleagues who share a passion for critical care ultrasound, building learning as well as research networks.
Limited availability!
The ESICM Art of Trauma Care Course aims to provide realistic and pragmatic trauma teaching based on most recent evidence. It focuses on recognizing and managing a severely injured patient in the resuscitation room and ICU over the first 48 hours, strategies for organ failure in trauma, non-technical skills, team-work, communication, decision-making under uncertainty, use of cognitive support, SOP, checklists, stress and cognitive load management.
