Congratulations to the amazing and inspiring Ram!

Really looking forward to the next three days at the NIHR Paediatric Critical Care Fellowship retreat! @drsofia.bsky.social

I have written for Don't Forget the Bubbles about implementation science in paediatric intensive care. To improve the care we give the sickest children, we need to understand how knowledge is mobilised to the bedside. If you are interested, get in touch! dontforgetthebubbles.com/implementati...

Such an amazing time at #ESPNIC2025 especially inspired to see so many people talking about implementation as the next great hurdle! 💪😁

We proudly welcome Prof. Joseph Manning as the newly elected Nursing President of #ESPNIC! Congratulations! 💫 #CriticalCare #CriticalCareNurses #ScientificLeadership #PedsICU #NICU

Our ESPNIC mapping project is now live on the @espnic.bsky.social website. How many PICUs are there in Europe? We are trying to find out! To see if your unit has responded, and to respond, go here: www.espnic.eu/espnic-mappi...

Please join us in congratulating Prof. Akash Deep, elected as the new Medical President of #ESPNIC! 👏👏👏 With his experience and commitment, we're excited for the journey ahead under his leadership. 🩺 #CriticalCare #ScientificLeadership #PedsICU #NICU

Great editorial by N Yehya and @markpicu.bsky.social about the importance to conduct research in #PedsICU and the critical need to use alternative model to obtain the parental consent, in those critical situations. Based on great data by Furyk and coll. journals.lww.com/pccmjournal/...

I have to say something. Preaching to the choir on this platform- but SPEAK UP- not just here, but on the platforms where everyone doesn’t agree with us. #PutKids1st #PedsICU #PedsAnes

Great new podcast with Akash Deep, James Squires, and Barbara Wildhaber for everyone interested in paediatric acute liver failure and intricacies of organ transplant in children! #pedsicu @lancetchildadol.bsky.social @espnic.bsky.social @pccsociety.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEr4...

PICU colleagues, could I please ask for your help yet again - a 3-5 minute survey on how we use evidence in PICU imperial.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... and how we can improve our provision of evidence-based care! Thank you so much 📚😀

Last call before we write up our first report- we are especially missing responses from German PICUs - we believe there may be 100 of you but only 6 responses so far! If anyone is a paediatric intensive care professional in Germany we would be really grateful if you have time to reply!

Announcing… the PEdSIG PAFTAs! Do you know a paediatric medical educator who innovates, integrates or inspires? Nominate them for a PEdSIG PAFTA by 31/01/25 for the chance to celebrate them at RCPCH Conference! bit.ly/4fe6mpe

I have written a blog about my very positive experiences with PPIE for paediatric intensive care research - thank you so much to @imperialperc.bsky.social who are wonderful, for all your guidance! blogs.imperial.ac.uk/perc/2024/12...

Don’t miss our final blog of 2024! 💫 Featuring @emmaaaaa8.bsky.social Emma Alexander's amazing Public Involvement work in the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit research. Please find it here: blogs.imperial.ac.uk/perc/2024/12... Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

Interesting paper in PICJournalWatch this month - single centre cohort study of renal outcomes 11 years after PICU admission! One of the few studies I have seen with such long follow-up. AKI was associated with CKD 11 years later pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39585355/

Thanks so much to all who have responded so far! We currently have few/no responses from PICUs in - Germany, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Sweden, and Switzerland. If you work in PICU #PedsICU in these places, please fill it in! Thank you so much! 🤩

European PICU #PedsICU friends on Bluesky, please help us! How many PICUs are there in Europe? We don't know! Together with ESPNIC we are surveying the European PICU community! If you work in a PICU in Europe please complete this extremely short survey: edc01.unipd-ubep.it/redcap/surve...

boys very serious this morning.

In this new article led by Prof Akash Deep in Lancet C&AH we explore the challenging circumstance of the critically ill child with acute liver failure, who is unsuitable for liver transplant - due to medical, social, logistical, or ethical concerns www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Today in mourning the retirement of one of the two greatest ever to play the game! Gracias Rafa!

Hello Bluesky and #pedsicu community! I am here to talk about the implementation of PICU clinical trials, critical care hepatology and nephrology, and cats! 🤓🐈
