Thank you to the Network team, and all the speakers for a great day.
Lots of learning, networking and reflections. The patient and relative presentations were very powerful; remind us why we do what we do, but with messages for improvements too

Was wonderful to have a former ICU patient and a relative of a patient share their experiences with us. Amazing session for many ICU staff who don't get an opportunity to see patients and relatives once they leave ICU.

Thank you Karen and Patti!!
