Stream 3
This session will showcase resident-led research, audit, and QI in intensive care. We will present exclusive first results from the latest TRIC Network project, TRIC-BLOCK, which examined the use of neuromuscular blocking in more than 125 critical care units across the UK.
The session will also feature the TRIC national project competition final, where shortlisted finalists pitch their proposals live to an expert judging panel, alongside real-time audience voting to decide the next national TRIC study. This interactive format offers a unique opportunity to directly influence the future direction of resident-led collaborative research.
