Our mission
To establish a patient-centred, family-oriented PICU dedicated to enhancing the health of critically ill children through excellence in personalised medicine, academia, research, and advocacy.
Our objectives
To provide a high standard of intensive care for children, promoting compassionate and collaborative care involving multidisciplinary teams, family participation, and other agencies and developing and disseminating PICU clinical expertise, research collaborations, and networking opportunities.
Our core values
Our core values and strengths are truly multidisciplinary and multi-professional, with a focus on intensive care and monitoring for critically ill children and their families in the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and paediatric high dependency care ward (PHDW).

Our Courses

Currently, we have 25 paediatric intensivists registered in the National Specialist Registry, and this number is continuing to increase. With the growing number and complexity of critically ill paediatric patients in the country, there is an urgent need for paediatric intensivists to come together, form a representative group, and standardise critical care clinical services to improve clinical outcomes through educational activities, including courses, workshops, conferences, research, and networking
