Navigating Crisis: Strengthening Team Dynamics in Intensive Care
This workshop is designed to familiarise participants with interprofessional collaboration in ICUs and prompt reflection on applying interprofessional approaches in their work. Participants will review international, evidence-based literature, using examples from past and current best practice models from the UK. They will then take part in an interactive session discussing team dynamics in Hong Kong’s ICUs. Facilitated by the FEARLESS ICU team, this session will guide participants in creating a team agreement to navigate and resolve potential tensions within ICU teams. The interactive session’s conclusion will focus on identifying specific interprofessional challenges regarding care delivery in Hong Kong’s ICUs, allowing participants to explore the factors affecting this issue and consider potential solutions. The workshop will utilise insights from the FEARLESS ICU project, which examines interprofessional collaboration in ICUs in England.
All staff and students are welcome. Both lecture and workshop are accredited by CME and CNE!
