CCSG Events

Looking for conferences or study days to attend over the coming year? Here are some events which may be of interest.

 

 

CCSG Annual Study Day 21st November 2025 -The Path to Recovery: Integrating Nutrition and Rehabilitation in Critical Care

Join us for the Critical Care Specialist Group’s in-person Annual Study Day taking place on Friday 21 November 2025 at The Studio in Birmingham. Follow the link here for more information, a detailed agenda and to book your ticket.

Our 2025 annual study day is a face to face only event and this year we will be highlighting the vital importance of rehabilitation in critical care, with a particular focus on nutrition. 

We will be providing an update on the recent NCEPOD report on rehabilitation following critical illness, presenting a case study of a long stay patient, discussing missed opportunities on discharge from critical care and more!

We will also be running our popular 'year in review' session, where we critique the most important nutrition in critical care papers over the last twelve months, as well as showcasing work from around the country with our research award presentations, a fantastic opportunity to learn from other dietitians in the midst of clinical practice. 

Our annual general meeting (AGM) will also take place at this event for members of the CCSG to attend and hear more about what we're up to including updates on some of the projects the CCSG have been involved in over the last year!

We love meeting you all in person, and this year we are offering our event in person only to allow for more of us to network and learn from each other. We plan to record this event. Attendees will be sent the recording afterward, as long as the technical quality is sufficient. For those who cannot attend in person, the recording will be available for purchase on the BDA shop a few weeks after the event (subject to successful recording). Please do not purchase a ticket if you are unable to attend, as it is valid for in-person attendance only.

Please see Annual CCSG Study Day for information on our previous study days.

Introduction to Critical Care Dietetics

The very popular Introduction to Critical Care Dietetics course is back and has dates available after selling out in 2023 and 2024!

The course aims to improve your awareness of the dietetic and physiological principles that are essential to working in the critical care setting, whilst supporting you to develop the confidence required to autonomously work in this environment.

The course is divided into 2 days of pre-course learning via the BDA Learning Zone and a 1-day classroom event (virtual option available or face-to-face option at the BDA offices in Birmingham).

This course is aimed at those new to working in critical care, especially those working in isolation without a team of critical care dietitians to support them. It is aimed primarily at band 6’s and 7’s who have just moved into the specialist of critical care or having to provide clinical cover to this area. They will be working in the area but not experienced.

Topics covered broadly pertain to the following five themes:

  • International guidelines and unit protocols
  • Assessing nutritional risk, biochemistry and refeeding syndrome
  • Metabolic response, energy and protein targets, and effects of critical illness on nutritional interventions
  • Nutrition therapy routes: Enteral nutrition (EN) and Parenteral nutrition (PN), routes for EN and PN
  • ICU stepdown, handover and rehabilitation

See the BDA Event calendar for upcoming dates and the Introduction to Critical Care Dietetics page for further information about the course and to book your place.
