ICNARC data-what to do with it!

4.10pm – 4.40pm BST, 1 July 2026 ‐ 30 mins

Breakout session

All UK intensive care units contribute to ICNARC, generating a rich and comprehensive dataset that captures patient characteristics, interventions, and outcomes. Yet, despite its scope and potential, this resource is often underutilised at the frontline. This session will explore how clinicians and the wider multidisciplinary team (MDT) can make meaningful use of ICNARC data to inform practice, drive quality improvement, and support service development.

Through practical examples and expert insights, we will demystify the reports, highlight common pitfalls in interpretation, and demonstrate how to translate data into actionable change. Attendees will leave with greater confidence in using ICNARC outputs to benchmark performance, identify variation, and ultimately improve patient care.
