This is the 3rd year we have run this course. Here is feedback from our previous attendees:
"Really good course that I highly recommend to be pushed out to more people to ensure they have the right skills prior to covering ICU. I wish I have done this course earlier in my career."
"I feel the course exceeded my expectations especially when we were going face to face in ICU and talking about the challenges we all faced together. I also learnt about new practices and the UCLH approach to different conditions."
"Really well organised and really lucky to be learning from very experienced pharmacists."
"Critical care pharmacy course is clinically oriented, that its gives me confidence and knowhow to manage ICU patients from the pharmacy point of view."
"The Critical Care course for Pharmacists is well thought out and quite apt, considering the health indices in the developing world; it will definitely help pharmacist in this part of the world contribute effectively via Pharmaceutical Care to the management of critically ill patients."
