A Joint iSRRS and ANZICS Webinar Sustaining the Rapid Response System in Australia and New Zealand
2022-07-19 08:00 - 12:50 (Australia/Melbourne) | Zoom
“Sustaining the rapid response system in Australia and New Zealand”.
Date and Time: 19th of July from 8:00 AM to 12:50 PM (Melbourne time) to accommodate for international speakers.
Australia and New Zealand were early adopters and are world leaders of the Rapid Response System model of care. Such systems have been associated with reductions in in-hospital cardiac arrests and mortality for hospitalised patients. In Australia and New Zealand rapid response team staff are often comprised of intensive care doctors and nurses.
In recent years there has been a dramatic increase in the number of Rapid Response Team calls for hospitalised patients in many ICU-equipped hospitals. This has led to a strain on intensive care resources, particularly when the service does not have dedicated staffing.
This webinar will address elements of sustainability, clinician resourcing, and supervision of registrars involved in the rapid response team. Strategies to improve the recognition and response of at risk in deteriorating patients in the period prior to breaching rapid response team criteria will be explored. These will include strategies for enhanced monitoring of ward patients, improving pre rapid response team tiers of recognition and response, and approaches to predict which patients will experience a rapid response team review. There will also be a discussion about the roles and responsibilities of a Critical Care Outreach Physician.
This activity has CICM CPD Accreditation for Category 2A: Passive Group Learning (1 point per hour).
The webinar will be free for all members of ANZICS and the iSRRS.

ANZICS/ACCCN Intensive Care ASM 2023
2023-03-29 - 2023-03-31 | ADELAIDE CONVENTION CENTRE, North Terrace, Adelaide, South Australia, 5000, Australia
The ANZICS/ACCCN Annual Scientific Meeting, which incorporates the annual Paediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care Conference, will be held at the Adelaide Convention Centre, from 29 – 31 March 2023. The Annual Scientific Meeting will be the preeminent critical care conference in Australasia for the calendar year and will be an important platform that will allow doctors, nurses and allied health practitioners to meaningfully connect and discuss new developments and research in the field of intensive and critical care.
Critical care straddles ‘the edge’; the edge of life and death, the extremes of physiological and emotional endurance and the boundaries of science, innovation and technology. The ASM, held on the picturesque edge of the Southern Ocean, and over three days will explore and celebrate the theme of “ICU on the Edge”.
As always the program will include keynote speakers in the forefront of Intensive Care and we anticipate they will attract great interest from delegates. The ASM provides an ideal opportunity to network with professionals, make new contacts and establish important relationships with leading intensive care professionals.
We sincerely hope you can join us in this vibrant meeting and we look forward to a memorable and mutually rewarding experience in Adelaide in 2023.
Adelaide is a spectacular host city for the ASM, as the capital city of South Australia is surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes. Adelaide is a city for people of all ages and abilities to explore; with a wide range of sports and recreation, schools, universities, libraries and community centres that bring people together to learn and converse. Adelaide has an enviable food and lively dining scene experienced through a network of buzzing laneways, small bars, restaurants and pubs on nearly every corner. There is ever-widening access to the arts. Cultural venues and monuments that open eyes and challenge minds or the more measured pace offered by trails through the Park Lands, where people keep fit, commute or simply take time out to relax and unwind. Adelaide is a truly magical place. There’s so much to see, do and immerse yourself in.
The Local Organising Committee look forward to welcoming all delegates to Adelaide.
A fantastic program for the 2023 ANZICS/ACCCN Annual Scientific Meeting – headlined by a presentation from Nobel Laureate, Prof. Peter Doherty!!

Registration is free!
What is a Datathon why is it important?
A datathon is an interactive event where participants work together in teams to solve a clinical question through applying data science tools and techniques to analyse large dataset(s). Clinicians and data scientists (including trainees) work together to generate insights and potential solutions to the clinical question.
Since 2017, ANZICS has hosted datathons to provide opportunities for intensive care clinicians and trainees, data scientists, biostatisticians and researchers to explore the large repository of data held in the ANZICS Clinical Registry to answer practical questions that may inform or improve patient care.
Partnering with the Queensland University of Technology’s School of Computer Science and Centre for Data Science, the ANZICS 2024 Intensive Care Datathon brings together clinical and data science enthusiasts and experts to explore the depths of the ANZICS Registry datasets which hold over 3 million episodes of care.
We welcome students and trainees alike to get involved. Datathons are a great way to enhance your skills, refine a formal project idea and collaborate with diverse professionals, whilst being mentored along the way by the best experts in health and data science.

About the Data:
The data provided will be extracted from the ANZICS Registry and curated to preserve privacy, while providing enough information for meaningful analyses. Participants are required to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement, and if the work results in a publication, the ANZICS Publication Policy must be adhered to. If there is scientific merit, we support and encourage teams to continue to work on their field of enquiry towards a formal publication beyond the day of the Datathon.
Who can attend the Datathon?
It is helpful if you are a:
– Clinician (or trainee) with real experience in the critical care environment
– Data Scientist (or trainee) with experience in

R/Python/Matlab or SQL queries
machine learning
statistical modelling or data visualisation
How does it work?
Teams are each assigned a clinical question to interrogate one or more datasets with the aim of generating an insight or solution to the question. At the close of the day, each team will present their finding(s), providing the opportunity for participants to develop skills in showcasing the meaning and value behind the data and its application to the real world. The presentations will be judged by the Datathon mentors, with the top teams given the opportunity to present findings in a session at the 2024 ANZICS ACCCN Annual Scientific Meeting.
*Please note, some preparatory work may be required by participants prior to start of the Datathon.
What if we get stuck on a problem?
There is plenty of support for teams to navigate the challenge of the day, with Datathon mentors and experts in the field of Intensive Care Medicine and Data Science available to assist and mentor you every step of the way.
What do I need to bring?
Bring your own laptop (don’t forget the charger), be open to working with others and ready to jump in for the challenge. A rewarding and fun learning opportunity awaits!
What datasets will be available?
Teams may choose to use one or all the datasets on offer to answer their assigned clinical question.
The ANZICS Intensive Care Registry Datasets:
• The Adult Patient Database
• The Australian and New Zealand Paediatric Intensive Care Dataset
• The Critical Care Resources Dataset
• The Socio-economic data by postcode
How are the Datathon presentations judged?
Abstract presentations are reviewed by the scientific mentors. Judging is based on clinical relevance and impact – i.e. how your solution may influence or improve current practice, the novelty and impact of the proposed problem statement, the result presentation, and the Team’s plans for the study moving forward.
