This episode is in conjunction with my friends over at JICScast Segun Olusanya and James Day. We met with Dr Anna Batchelor, Carole Boulanger and Gavin Denton to discuss the role of the Advanced Critical Care Practitioner, its impact on the service as a whole and what the future may look like for this growing body of health care workers.
I also go on to say that I am now moving to Warwick Hospital in my role as an Advanced Critical Care Practitioner, and leaving the Emergency Medicine Department behind. I have learned a vast amount whilst there but the Intensive Care Unit is where I feel most comfortable.
