The program is supported by a multidisciplinary team of medical and nursing intensive care clinicians, pharmacists, dietitians, physiotherapists and academic researchers.
The team is dedicated to promoting high quality patient care and evidence base practice with key research areas covering:
- Acute kidney injury
