NOrF Stream
We are pleased to announce that the National Outreach Forum will join the BACCN Conference this year, contributing a dedicated programme stream focused on Critical Care Outreach.
Sessions will explore current challenges, emerging evidence and innovative developments within Critical Care Outreach, reflecting NOrF’s ongoing commitment to education, best practice sharing and collaborative improvement across acute care services nationally and internationally.
Critical Care Outreach: Leading Change, Improving Outcomes
Join us for an inspiring programme exploring the future of Critical Care Outreach across England, Wales and Ireland. Hear national perspectives on the evolving role of Critical Care Outreach teams, discover how data-driven approaches are enhancing patient safety, and learn from service evaluations demonstrating the impact of advanced practice in critical care.
Explore cutting-edge topics including the role of soft signs in recognising deterioration, nurses' experiences of escalating care, innovative approaches to sepsis recognition through automated pathways, and the growing use of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) as a diagnostic adjunct. Sessions will highlight practical strategies for improving early recognition, response to deterioration, and cardiac arrest outcomes.
Gain valuable insights into the future of advanced practice from a multi-site mixed-methods study, enhance your understanding of human factors and decision-making through an interactive workshop with Dr Paul Greig, and contribute to shaping the future of Critical Care Outreach during the NOrF Community of Practice discussion.
Whether you are a critical care nurse, outreach practitioner, advanced practitioner, educator, or leader, this programme offers evidence, innovation, and practical learning to support safer, more effective care for deteriorating patients.
