This year’s title, “Critical Care Game Changers” is your chance to think innovatively: think about the controversies facing our specialty now, next year, next decade…tell us your idea to change the game!  The top 5 scored abstracts submitted in response to this title will be invited to give a presentation to a panel of critical care experts on the main stage at the State of the Art meeting in Westminster on the 10th 11th or 12th of December 2018. Don’t be put off that all of our presenters will be subject to on stage ‘questioning’ by the dragons; it will be friendly fire.

The best presentation as judged by the panel will be awarded the prestigious ICS Trainee Committee Prize for Controversies in Critical Care.

All 5 accepted abstracts will also be published in the Journal of the Intensive Care Society’s e-supplement
