ANZICS/ACCCN Intensive Care ASM 2023
2023-03-29 - 2023-03-31 | ADELAIDE CONVENTION CENTRE, North Terrace, Adelaide, South Australia, 5000, Australia
The ANZICS/ACCCN Annual Scientific Meeting, which incorporates the annual Paediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care Conference, will be held at the Adelaide Convention Centre, from 29 – 31 March 2023. The Annual Scientific Meeting will be the preeminent critical care conference in Australasia for the calendar year and will be an important platform that will allow doctors, nurses and allied health practitioners to meaningfully connect and discuss new developments and research in the field of intensive and critical care.
Critical care straddles ‘the edge’; the edge of life and death, the extremes of physiological and emotional endurance and the boundaries of science, innovation and technology. The ASM, held on the picturesque edge of the Southern Ocean, and over three days will explore and celebrate the theme of “ICU on the Edge”.
As always the program will include keynote speakers in the forefront of Intensive Care and we anticipate they will attract great interest from delegates. The ASM provides an ideal opportunity to network with professionals, make new contacts and establish important relationships with leading intensive care professionals.
We sincerely hope you can join us in this vibrant meeting and we look forward to a memorable and mutually rewarding experience in Adelaide in 2023.
Adelaide is a spectacular host city for the ASM, as the capital city of South Australia is surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes. Adelaide is a city for people of all ages and abilities to explore; with a wide range of sports and recreation, schools, universities, libraries and community centres that bring people together to learn and converse. Adelaide has an enviable food and lively dining scene experienced through a network of buzzing laneways, small bars, restaurants and pubs on nearly every corner. There is ever-widening access to the arts. Cultural venues and monuments that open eyes and challenge minds or the more measured pace offered by trails through the Park Lands, where people keep fit, commute or simply take time out to relax and unwind. Adelaide is a truly magical place. There’s so much to see, do and immerse yourself in.
The Local Organising Committee look forward to welcoming all delegates to Adelaide.
A fantastic program for the 2023 ANZICS/ACCCN Annual Scientific Meeting – headlined by a presentation from Nobel Laureate, Prof. Peter Doherty!!

A Joint iSRRS and ANZICS Webinar Sustaining the Rapid Response System in Australia and New Zealand
2022-07-19 08:00 - 12:50 (Australia/Melbourne) | Zoom
“Sustaining the rapid response system in Australia and New Zealand”.
Date and Time: 19th of July from 8:00 AM to 12:50 PM (Melbourne time) to accommodate for international speakers.
Australia and New Zealand were early adopters and are world leaders of the Rapid Response System model of care. Such systems have been associated with reductions in in-hospital cardiac arrests and mortality for hospitalised patients. In Australia and New Zealand rapid response team staff are often comprised of intensive care doctors and nurses.
In recent years there has been a dramatic increase in the number of Rapid Response Team calls for hospitalised patients in many ICU-equipped hospitals. This has led to a strain on intensive care resources, particularly when the service does not have dedicated staffing.
This webinar will address elements of sustainability, clinician resourcing, and supervision of registrars involved in the rapid response team. Strategies to improve the recognition and response of at risk in deteriorating patients in the period prior to breaching rapid response team criteria will be explored. These will include strategies for enhanced monitoring of ward patients, improving pre rapid response team tiers of recognition and response, and approaches to predict which patients will experience a rapid response team review. There will also be a discussion about the roles and responsibilities of a Critical Care Outreach Physician.
This activity has CICM CPD Accreditation for Category 2A: Passive Group Learning (1 point per hour).
The webinar will be free for all members of ANZICS and the iSRRS.

Asia Pacific Intensive Care Symposium
2021-07-17 - 2021-07-19 | zoom
We are pleased to announce that the SG-ANZICS Asia Pacific Intensive Care Forum is now rebranded to the Asia Pacific Intensive Care Symposium (APICS), brought to you by SICM and ANZICS.
APICS was launched last year as a virtual conference in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, as our flagship event, SG-ANZICS, was unable to take place. The response to APICS 2020 exceeded our expectations – we garnered around 3000 international participants and received great feedback for the quality of our talks and speakers.
Moving forward, we have concerted our efforts into a single intensive care conference – the Asia Pacific Intensive Care Symposium (APICS). This rebranding reflects our position as the leading intensive care conference in the Asia Pacific region. APICS continues to be organised by the same intensive care societies behind SG-ANZICS – the Society of Intensive Care Medicine, Singapore (SICM) and the Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Society (ANZICS).
What to know for APICS 2021:

The “SG-ANZICS Asia Pacific Intensive Care Forum” will now be known as the Asia Pacific Intensive Care Symposium “APICS by SICM X ANZICS”
The official website will now be www.sg-apics.com
It will be conducted virtually this year from 17 – 19 July 2021.

We would like to thank all our delegates, speakers, sponsors and exhibitors for your support towards SG-ANZICS throughout these years. We look forward to providing the same high-quality content and unique delegate experience through APICS for many years to come.
See you at APICS 2021!
