How we support those working in intensive care
Our fundraising activities are central to our work, and allow us to support our members and wider community in three major areas:
Thriving at Work
Donations allow us to provide wellbeing support to our community, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Caring for patients during the greatest healthcare crisis we've faced in a century has taken an enorous toll on those who work in intensive care, and our wellbeing programme helps provide them with the tools they need to thrive at work.
Education
Learning is important to our community, so it's a prority for us. It promotes career development, and encourages the sharing of knowledge amoung peers, leadign to better patient care. It also allows for professional networking and the development of support systems, which promotes enhanced wellbeing at work.
Research
The COVID-19 pandemic illustrated more clearly than ever the value and importance of scientific research, and donations allow us to fund and support research which advances intensive care as a specialty and improves patient care adn outcomes. It allows us to provide grants and awards, which allow researchers to commence larger research projects.
