Intensive & Critical Care Medicine (ICCM) Committee

The function of the ICCM Committee is to improve care by providing support, training, and education for healthcare providers delivering critical care medicine around the globe.  

Critical care medicine includes the complete perspective of care of critically ill patients who are at risk, suffering from, or recovering from life-threatening conditions. This includes, but is not limited to, all forms of life support techniques, invasive monitoring and treatments, resuscitation, relevant bioethics, and end-of-life care. 

Key Committee Aims:

  • Promote and support local and regional organisation, communication, and collaboration to develop locally relevant critical care best practices. 
  • Develop and/or disseminate critical care educational materials in collaboration with other committees or outside organisations. 
  • Foster high-quality research relevant to ICCM. 
  • Work in collaboration with other WFSA Committees and other organisations to advance the care of patients needing ICCM. 
  • Serve as a globally recognised resource on matters or projects related to ICCM, especially in resource-constrained settings.
