Clinical decision making

The importance of optimal clinical decision making is increasingly recognised within critical care and the society has been very fortunate to have had the priviledge of one of the field’s leads, Professor Pat Crosskerry, share his expertise. Dr Croskerry has kindly agreed to post his lectures on our website (links below) and Dr Graham Nimmo has prepared a brief introductory presentation on clinical decision making.
