Healthcare in general and pediatric critical care in particular are rapidly evolving, requiring us to re-examine the care we provide, how we provide it and the environment in which our patients receive it. changes can be difficult to deal with, and we’re here to help you!

Join us at the 29th annual pediatric critical care nursing conference, where clinical experts will provide insight and the perspective of their years of experience to help you navigate challenges you’re facing now and anticipating in the near future. What are some new technologies being used to better assess, monitor and treat pediatric patients? Is research on sepsis providing information to improve outcomes? Have the benefits and risks of therapeutic hypothermia been more clearly defined? We hope your participation in this conference will help you answer these and many other questions, and positively impact the care you provide to the critically ill children for whom you care.

mark your calendar, invite a colleague to join you, and plan on a unique learning experience. see you there!
