The ICU summer school
An increasing number of patients are surviving an
episode of critical illness that requires intensive care
(ICU) treatment. Recovering from critical illness is a
long-term process and ICU survivors and their families
face many challenges after critical illness. A number
of disciplines have an interest in critical illness and
recovery and research collaborations across disciplines
have the potential to improve health care practices,
and inform social science theory and methodological
developments.
This international and multidisciplinary summer school
aims to:
Build international collaboration
Create networks of early career and senior
researchers
And provide high quality methods teaching
opportunities.

The summer school is aimed at international early
career, doctoral (2 year onwards) and postdoctoral

Cost
The fee is set at £100 (includes B&B accommodation
