• The FICM will not bulk email its members with a message specific to your survey, nor will it coordinate physical mail-outs of survey materials

Current External Surveys

Barriers and Enablers of Equity in Enhanced Perioperative Care (BEE-EPC)

Enhanced Perioperative Care (EPC) services are increasingly recognised as an important element in improving outcomes for high-risk surgical patients and in supporting hospitals to use critical care capacity more effectively. The Barriers to Evidence-based Enhanced Perioperative Care (BEE-EPC) survey seeks to capture front-line insights into the obstacles and enablers to establishing and sustaining EPC. Researchers from University College London are interested in hearing from all staff involved in perioperative services, including intensivists, nurses, allied health professionals, and non-clinical managers. The survey will take less than 5 minutes to complete.

What Is 'High-risk' in Elective General Surgery? A Survey of Surgical and Anaesthetic Practice

A PhD study at the University of Glasgow is looking to understand how clinicians identify patients as 'high-risk' in the context of elective general surgery and the role of the 'high-risk' pre-operative clinic in this process. This survey forms part of a wider body of work that explores clinicians' and patients' understanding of the 'high-risk' label in the context of elective general surgery to determind how these views align with or diverge from the current definition and paramaters captured.

ESICM survey on medication safety

Medication errors in adult ICUs can cause preventable patient harm. While various safety measures exist, there is limited understanding of which interventions are commonly used in adult ICUs. The ESICM survey team are gathering insights from ICU healthcare professionals to understand their experiences with adult ICU medication safety systems. Your input will help them understand access to medication safety systems and their perceived impact on ICU patient safety.

All ICU healthcare professionals are asked to participate, and the survey takes less than 15 minutes to complete. Please click here to take the survey.
