WFICC and ANZICS discussions

Representatives of the World Federation of Intensive and Critical Care (WFICC) and the Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Society (ANZICS) met in Melbourne during the ANZICS Annual Scientific Meeting to discuss opportunities to strengthen the longstanding relationship between the two organisations and to explore new avenues for collaboration.

A major focus of the discussion was the potential for closer collaboration between WFICC and ANZICS in the Pacific Islands. In the discussion, particular attention was given to the expansion of critical care education and capacity-building initiatives, including the potential implementation of the Basic Critical Care (BCC) course, building on the experience and lessons learned from the successful pilot initiative conducted earlier this year in the Solomon Islands. Both organizations recognized that initiatives of this nature benefit significantly from strong regional partnerships. Given ANZICS’ expertise, regional knowledge, and longstanding relationship with WFICC, the Society represents an important potential partner in the development and implementation of future initiatives across the Pacific region.
