Hosted by Critical Care Specialist Group
This year the annual study day moves to Wales!
We will be covering all things requirements - from the evidence behind predictive equations to the science behind indirect calorimetry and successful business case examples.
We will be looking at how we assess our patients and which anthropometric measurements are best in our patient group and will also be providing updates on some of the work that the CCSG has done in the last year.
Join us in person for amazing networking opportunities plus indirect calorimetry demos by Baxter, CCSG poster presentations and post event drinks reception.
