#zeitgeist Intensive care is a team with actively engaged and experienced dieticians, physiotherapists and pharmacists. @DSemple5 @MoninneHowlett @SapnaKmd Everyone contributes to the care of the patient, every day. #weareintensivecare

#ventilator #COVID19 Intensive care has experienced biomedical engineers, who arrive at 2am without question, to set up, calibrate and advise on complex equipment. @DrKanaris @GoodishIntent @yourICM

#muchmorethanaventilator The best intensive care, with good outcomes, is delivered by 5-6 intensive care nurses PER BED. Compassionate, knowledgeable and skilled, ICU nurses are valuable to society and should be paid well. @traceywall001 @djcribbin #Covid19

#weareintensivecare #COVID19 The ICU /PICU / NICU have cleaners taking pride in their work. Now more than ever before do we know their value. This is Janet. She never stops moving as far as I can see. @PriscillaLynch @paulreiddublin @ClaireByrneLive @BreakfastNT @paulcullenit

#coronavirus #StayAtHome Intensive care is a team - with an administrator, data manager and ward clerk. Clinical information systems, documentation and attention to detail. This is ICU, not just a ventilator. #weareintensivecare

Intensive care requires focused study and training. New nurses, and doctors are supported and mentored by clinical facilitators. With years of experience in ICU, and know how to share that knowledge. This is Lisa. What she doesn’t know isn’t worth knowing. @fionam_miles

#weareintensivecare Intensive care registrars and fellows work day, night and weekends. They attend critically ill patients tirelessly and are the future of our specialty. @bryan_reidy @COAIrl @RCoANews @RCPI

Intensive care needs research so that we can understand the efficacy, effectiveness and outcomes of every intervention and treatment in ICU. This is Mong, she keeps us on our toes. @screamingmd #COVID19 #muchmorethanaventilator

#coronavirus Intensive care medicine is delivered by experienced intensivists. Physicians trained in critical care medicine, dedicated to the ICU patient. Not just a ventilator. @Mater_ICU #weareintensivecare @MaryHealy1211 @WomenICM

#Criticalcare Patients who need intensive care admission often need specialised transport to access ICU. Experts in resuscitation and stabilisation, they are a key part of the ICU team. @MedgibbonsCathy @bailenaleabhar @CcoHse

#intensivecare ICU is a multidisciplinary group of trained motivated staff, all working hard to achieve good patient outcomes. As part of the team we have healthcare assistants and porters. Everyone has a role. @ICU_Management @vidamthamilton

It is not intensive care medicine. @rte @Independent_ie @med_indonews @HSE_CDI
