Paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) team

This section provides information about our intensive care (PICU) team. Our team is multidisciplinary. This means it's made up of different healthcare professionals who have a wealth of experience and expertise in caring for critically ill children.

The team is led by a matron and consultant doctors (also known as intensivists). They are supported by highly skilled nursing and medical staff, as well as technicians, pharmacists, therapists, counsellors, dietitians, play specialists, chaplains, clerical and housekeeping staff.
