The target audiences are physicians, nurses and respiratory therapists who care for critically ill children over the short term, usually while they await transport. These practitioners may be part of different departments depending on local workflows (ie. Emergency Department, Adult ICU or High Acuity Pediatric Units).
The curriculum has been developed and refined based on the health authority feedback.
The course has been delivered in:
- Northern Health (University Hospital of Northern BC – Prince George) 2023
- Fraser Health (Surrey Memorial Hospital- Surrey) 2023
- Island Health (Nanaimo Regional General Hospital – Nanaimo) 2024
- Interior Health (Thomson Rivers University – Kamloops) 2024
119 healthcare providers received in-person training.
In 2025, the goal is to organize four more courses across the province and collaborate with the Health Authorities to create a sustainable model for continued delivery of pediatric critical care outreach.
