Summary

Key Learning Points
1. Clear and effective communication is crucial between healthcare teams.
2. A clear and informative handover is essential for ensuring the continuity of excellent patient care.
3. The role of an intensivist not only involves the delivery of care on an intensive care unit, but rather extends across the whole hospital at all hours.
4. Patient-centred care and safety are your primary concerns.
5. The intensivist is also a key player in creating a positive working environment that both respects and encourages the input and contribution of other team members in making the best decisions for patient care.
